Key Points
  • Both Hayden Wilde and Alex Yee have faltered at the Grand final in the previous 2 years... can one of them finally become World Champion? (Yee is the clear favorite with 3000/3000 points so far - Can anyone challenge him on the run?)
  • Some new names like Miguel Hidalgo and Alberto Gonzalez are starting to shine in the men's field - can they cause an upset?
  • Lisa Tertsch proved supreme in Weihai against Paris Bronze medalist, Beth Potter. Can she be one of the youngest-ever World Triathlon World Champions?
  • She will have to take down gold and silver medalists, Cassandre Beaugrand and Julie Derron in the process and hope Beaugrand finishes off the podium.
  • $30,000 for first place + $70,000 bonus for the Series World Champion

Key Points
  • It's the second to last race of the series and every point matters to see who will win the overall series.
  • Many of the men are away chasing Kona the following week, leaving plenty of opportunity for those racing - including a host of new wildcards.
  • Will Van Riel continue his unbeaten streak on this tough course with plenty of heat and elevation to make it interesting?
  • The women's field is completely stacked with all the women returning from the Nice World Championships. Can anyone compete with Knibb?

Key Points
  • How will Lionel Sanders do, he's been all in on this race since the start of the season... can he have his perfect day?
  • Gustav Iden returns as the defending "Kona" champion... has he regained enough fitness since his injury in 2023 to fight off the likes of current Ironman World Champion from Nice, Sam Laidlow?
  • Kristian Blummenfelt had this as his other big target alongside the Olympics at the beginning of the year... last time in Kona he finished 3rd and suffered in the heat - will he be able to take the only title he is missing in triathlon?
  • It is supposed to be a race all about the bike... who can keep up the pace with the likes of Laidlow and Ditlev. Will Cameron Wurf be the one to help bridge a few more strong bike runners to the front?
