List of the best Swiss triathletes on the Ironman distance
The best list of Swiss women triathletes on the Ironman distance includes all times that Swiss women (amateurs and professionals) worldwide in a triathlon over the long distance or the Ironman distance (3.86 km swimming, 180.2 km cycling and 42.2 km Running). (As of June 1, 2020)
Criteria for the best times
Every athlete is listed here with her personal best. Times below 9:20 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 carried out 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 at the competitions, as in Hawaii, are not comparable due to changes in the route, construction sites, condition or change in 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.
Natascha Badmann , the six-time winner of the Ironman Hawaii, achieved her best time of 9:07:54 h in Hawaii in October 2002.
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 men from Switzerland can be found in the list of the best Swiss triathletes on the Ironman distance .
