Knibb fought bravely to the end, but she had to settle for second place in a time of 8:18:12. It was a valiant effort from the American in just her second full distance race, and she will undoubtedly be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
Rachel Zilinskas rounded out the podium in third place, finishing in a time of 8:28:45. The American put in a strong performance throughout the day, but she was unable to match the sheer dominance of Matthews and Knibb.
Overall, it was a thrilling day of racing at IRONMAN Texas 2025, with Kat Matthews once again proving why she is one of the best in the world. Her victory will no doubt serve as motivation for her rivals as they look to dethrone the British superstar in future races.
Congratulations to Kat Matthews on her incredible win, and to all the athletes who competed in this grueling test of endurance. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the season has in store for these incredible triathletes!
Increíblemente increíble.
