Lava Fields and Relentless Crosswinds
Kona's course runs through rugged lava fields and relentless crosswinds, which On calls the ultimate proving ground for the world's best triathletes. Iden already knows what it takes to win there, in On's words, and that is the reason he is back for a second World Championship title.
Two Norwegians, One Tape
On describes Iden and Blummenfelt as "training partners and fierce competitors." Both are from Norway, and both step onto the course with a singular goal, to break the tape first.
Blummenfelt has the harder ask on paper. His sights are set on a first victory on the Big Island, the one result Iden already has.
