The 17th edition of IRONMAN France Nice will take place next Sunday. For the 40th edition of the Triathlon in the azure-colored capital, more than 5000 athletes have signed up.
IRONMAN France Nice will be the arena for one of the best triathlon races of the year. Many professional athletes from around the world come to compete for victory on the legendary Promenade des Anglais in Nice. It is a crucial event for many who come to test their physical condition before another major event of the year, the IRONMAN World Championships in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, which will take place in October.
In the men’s category, “Rudy” Von Berg (United States), Cameron Wurf (Australia), Joe Skipper (Great Britain), and the AS Monaco Triathlon member, William Mennesson, clearly stand out from the rest of the athletes. This will be a first for the American and the Frenchman who have never competed in an IRONMAN race. The Nice public can believe in a French achievement in this IRONMAN Nice 2022 as a large group of French outsiders are also ready to lead the battle.
Among the women, the Frenchwoman Manon Genêt, who recently finished third in the Mainova IRONMAN European Championship in Hamburg, will be looking to claim a victory at home. The athlete is in the shape of her life and the French public will surely help her surpass her limits. The main competitors of the Rochelaise will be Svenja Thoes (Germany), Federica De Nicola (Italy), and another Frenchwoman Jeanne Collonge, who, despite her return from injury, will also try everything to triumph in her country.
