Hamburg (dpa) Triathlete Jan Frodeno expects a “Hawaii in Germany” at the traditional long-distance triathlon in Roth (Bavaria) in July.
– In addition to the victory in Roth, Jan Frodeno also wants to win the world title in Hawaii in 2020.
“This year there is a very blatant field at the start,” said the 38-year-old, referring to the numerous other international professionals who want to start in Roth. Frodeno did not want to announce a new course record, like in 2016 at his last start in Roth, on the sidelines of a benefit concert in the Hamburg Elbphilarmonie.
The three-time Ironman world champion wants to win the world title in Hawaii in 2020 in addition to the victory in Roth. He will complete his confirmation race for World Cup qualification in Utah or Texas, said Frodeno. At the 70.3 World Championship, however, he will not compete. “December is just too late for me.”
Frodeno is an ambassador for the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, to which part of the proceeds from the “Channel Aid” benefit concert will go.
