Triathlon-Norway's Lovseth Wins Final Standalone Women's Ironman World Championship
Solveig Lovseth won the 2025 Ironman World Championship in her Kona debut, overcoming brutal heat and humidity and holding off Kat Matthews by 35 seconds.
- On Saturday, Solveig Lovseth crossed the line in 8:28:27 to win the Ironman World Championship in Kona, securing victory in her Kona debut.
- Starting the run in Hawaii, temperatures climbed into 82 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity exceeded 70%, causing longtime leader Lucy Charles-Barclay and Taylor Knibb to suffer late meltdowns and withdraw.
- Lovseth opened the race with a dominant swim lead, exiting with a commanding 1:32 lead while Knibb led into T2 and Matthews set a course-record marathon of 2:47:23 to finish 35 seconds behind.
- Lovseth's win marks a milestone for Norwegian triathlon as the first Norwegian woman champion, following Casper Stornes' men's sweep last month, with Kona reunification next year.
- Lovseth reflected on her race, saying, `I didn't really have my best swim, but I kept my calm, and on the bike I felt really good,' Lovseth said, as fans lined Queen Ka'ahumanu Highway.
