RICO BOGEN TAKES TOP STEP IN GERMAN SWEEP AT THE 2023 VINFAST IRONMAN 70.3 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IN LAHTI, FINLAND<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

LAHTI, Finland<\/strong> (Aug. 27, 2023) – Today in Lahti, Finland, 22-year-old German Rico Bogen took the crown at the 2023 VinFast IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship with a time of 3:32:22\u2014a new IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship best time, topping Michael Raelert\u2019s 3:34:04 set in 2009. He swam 22:52 over the 1.9 km (1.2-mile) ROKA swim course in Lake Vesij\u00e4rvi\u2019s crystal-clear waters, biked the 90km (56-mile) FULGAZ bike course in 1:56:17 on the day\u2019s calm and cool conditions, and ran a 1:11:02 on the 21.1km (13.1-mile) HOKA run course to finish among cheering crowds.\u00a0

Completing the podium was fellow Germans Frederic Funk (03:33:26) and Jan Stratmann (03:34:11), making it the first ever German podium in a IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship.
\u00a0
On the shores of Lake Vesij\u00e4rvi in Lahti, Finland today, triathlon fans worldwide witnessed the return of the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship to European soil. Male professionals and age-groupers alike took to the mild waters of Teivaa Harbour, ready to test themselves not only against the world\u2019s best, but the region\u2019s beautiful swim, bike, and run courses.\u00a0\u00a0
\u00a0
Americans Ben Kanute and Mark Dubric were among the early leaders in the water, setting the tight swim up from the get-go. The front group of 15 to 20 athletes formed a long stream, all in contact with one another until the second half of the swim. Defending IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship Kristian Blummenfelt was farther back than most expected, with the company of American Sam Long.\u00a0
\u00a0
A frantic swim exit featured a steady stream of men all within 2:20 of each other. Justus Nieschlag (DEU) was first out of the water in 23:43 with Jorgen Gunderson (DEN), Marc Dubric, Rico Borgen, Kanute and others out of the water just seconds behind the leader.
\u00a0
Blummenfelt exited the water 1:29 back, with Matt Hanson (USA) and Jackson Laundry (CAN) on his heels. It was a great swim for Lionel Sanders (CAN) and Sam Long as well, in close proximity to each other out of the water, setting them both up well to work together on the bike.\u00a0
\u00a0
It was a true European showcase over the 90 km (56 mile) bike course through the Finnish countryside. With very low winds and a sprinkling of rain, weather wasn\u2019t a huge factor as the men began to power through the rolling course.\u00a0
\u00a0
Reminiscent of the era in Kona when German cyclists dominated the sport (circa 1990\u2019s), five Germans drove the front of the bike, with Frenchman Mathis Margirier holding his own in the mix. Frederic Funk (DEU) moved up early in the bike to join Bogen, Nieschlag, Jan Stratman (DEU), and Maximillian Sperl (DEU), joined by Brit Joshua Lewis held steady in the front group, which continued to put time into the chase group behind them.
\u00a0
Funk moved through the field in the opening kilometers of the bike, with Long and Sanders putting in solid moves on the bike as well; until Sanders was delivered a penalty, he\u2019d moved into tenth. The front pack continued to put time onto everyone behind them, however.\u00a0
\u00a0
Funk was off the bike in 1:55:13 and out of transition in the lead. Margriere was hot on his heels, with Bogen, Nieschlag, Stratman, and Lewis all chasing.\u00a0
\u00a0
Margriere and Funk ran out onto the two-loop, 21.1 km (13.1 mile) HOKA run course stride for stride, with Bogen, Stratman, Nieschlag and Lewis ready to put the chase on all within a minute back.\u00a0
\u00a0
Sperl and Long lead the second group out of transition, starting the run approximately 3:30 back of the leading six men.\u00a0
\u00a0
At just two kilometers in, 22-year-old Rico Bogen, who won IRONMAN 70.3 Kraichgau earlier this summer, made a surprisingly aggressive move to the front. He held onto his lead, running a blistering average pace in the low 3-minute range and putting more time into Margriere with every passing kilometer. Funk passed the Frenchman for second at 14 kilometers, and Stratmann passed him near the 20-kilometer mark.
\u00a0
Bogen soared across the finish line with a run split of 1:11:02 and a finish time of 3:32:22, a relative fresh face in the sport taking an astonishing win on the world stage. His countrymen and fellow bike powerhouses Funk and Stratmann were across the line within minutes of the leader, making for an all-German podium and all-European top-five.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cI think I\u2019m the youngest world champion maybe, it\u2019s really unbelievable,\u201d Bogen said at the finish line. \u201cThe bike was really hard, but I had my running legs.\u201d Bogen, 22 years of age, indeed has become the youngest to claim the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship title, surpassing Gustav Iden (NOR) who was 23 when he won the event in 2019.
\u00a0
Frederick Funk said after his race, \u201cMy goal was to be better than last year. I tried a few times to get away from the group, but the race dynamics were really high level on the bike. I tried to conserve as much energy as possible on the bike and play my cards well. On the run I surprised myself\u2014I’ve never run that well. I think the run really suited me,\u201d .<\/p>\n
