LATE PUSH SEES KRISTIAN HOGENHAUG TAKE 3RD PLACE IN IRONMAN EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP IN HAMBURG

What should have been one of the highlights on the Ironman calendar, turned out in a tragedy. A horrific accident on the bike section of IRONMAN Hamburg on Sunday left a motorcycle operator dead and an official race photographer and race participant injured and receiving treatment in hospital. So it meant the event was completely overshadowed by the tragic news. But the race itself – this season’s European Championship for men – did continue and here is how it unfolded... With a late push and position change in the final hundred meters of the marathon, Kristian Hogenhaug took home 3rd place at the Ironman European Championship in Hamburg.

With a finish time of 7:31:12, Kristian crossed the line just 11 seconds shy of second place. Dennis Chevrot (FRA; 7:26:12) broke the tape with Pieter Heemeryck (BEL; 7:31:01) finishing in 2nd place.
