Best list of Swiss triathletes on the Ironman distance
The list of the best Swiss triathletes on the Ironman distance includes all times that Swiss people (amateurs and professionals) worldwide in a triathlon over the long distance or Ironman distance (3.86 km swimming, 180.2 km cycling and 42.2 km Running). (As of April 15, 2020)
Criteria for the best times
Each athlete is listed here with their personal best. Times under 8:30 hours since October 1982 have been taken into account.
An official measurement of the routes, as in athletics with the Jones counter , has not yet been done in triathlon. The races can only be compared to a limited extent or to a limited extent due to the fact that the length is not exactly precise. The times for one and the same competition, as in Hawaii, are not comparable due to route changes, construction sites, condition or change of the road surface, relocations and changes in the transition areas. The times listed here are results that have been achieved in competitions with an official slipstream ban.
Competitions in which only one duathlon was carried out due to weather conditions or partial distances were greatly shortened are not taken into account in this list of the best. The results of the women can be found in the best list of Swiss women triathletes on the Ironman distance .
