Challenge Roth Results
Challenge Roth 2022 results: Danish delight for Magnus Ditlev - Elite News - TRI247
At just 24 years of age and in in only his second full distance start, Denmark’s Magnus Ditlev proved (again) that he is far more than an uber-biker, producing an impressive all-round performance to claim victory at the DATEV Challenge Roth 2022.
Off the bike together with the legend Jan Frodeno, the German legend had to withdraw in the first 3km of the run with a recurrence of the Achilles injury that took him out of the IRONMAN World Championship in St George.
That, however, should not detract in any way from the Dane’s performance today. He finished just nine seconds short of the, at the time, world best time that Jan himself had set here six years ago – and more than nine minutes ahead of defending Roth champion and twice IRONMAN World Champion, Patrick Lange.
