For the first time ever there will be two Ironman World Championships within the same year, in two different venues! The rescheduled 2021 championships will take place in St George Utah<\/a>, on 7 May. Then later on in October, the championships will return to their home of Kona, Hawaii, on 6-8 October.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This bumper year is set to be full of surprises, not only do athletes have a new course to reckon with, but there\u2019s also been a string of athletes having to pull out of the race due to injury and illness.<\/p>\n

How to watch the Ironman 2021 World Championships\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\nWith the UK being six hours ahead of St George, the best way for British tri fans to keep up to date with the action will be to plug into the live stream and follow the action on social media. You can also follow us on Twitter @220Triathlon<\/strong><\/a> for lots of insight and debate on what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n
Lining up at Sand Hollow State Park at 6:15am local time (12:15am GMT), the pro men will set off just five minutes before the women, followed by the physically challenged\/hand cycle participants and age-group atheltes. A full schedule of events can be found here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Platforms available for streaming the event will include on the official Ironman Now<\/a><\/strong> channel on Youtube,\u00a0Facebook Watch<\/a><\/strong>, and Twitch<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Who is racing the Ironman Championships in St George?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\nRecent events have seen a spat of athletes pull out of the running, including injured race favourites Brit Lucy Charles-Barclay<\/strong><\/a> and previous 2019 winner Jan Frodeno<\/a><\/strong>. Other key players are still recovering from the affects of Covid-19, including Britain\u2019s Joe Skipper and spainiard Javier Gomez.<\/p>\n
With some key players out of the game, the path seems clear for the Norweigen hype train<\/a><\/strong> in the form of Olympic champion Kristian Blummenfelt<\/a><\/strong> and training partner Gustav Iden<\/a><\/strong>. That being said, could Ailstair Brownlee<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s recent transition into full-distance racing finally come into fruition? Here\u2019s who we think will win the men\u2019s race<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile on the women\u2019s side, the absence of Charles-Barclay<\/a><\/strong> will inspire a fight for the crown, with 2019 winner Anne Haug and Kat Matthews<\/a><\/strong> both possibles to race it out for a British win. Here\u2019s who we think will win the women\u2019s race.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
