Champion Chelsea Sodaro
On a typically hot day in Kailua-Kona, American Chelsea Sodaro quietly moved through the women’s field, coming out of the water with the 8th fastest swim, 4th fastest bike split, and the fastest run of the day to defeat one of the strongest field of competitors ever assembled for the Ironman World Championships. Sodaro became the first United States-born champion since Karen Smyers to take the Kona crown.
