Check out the best moments from the final round of the DP World Tour's Open de España in Madrid.

A year ago, U. S. Olympian Taylor Knibb, struggling in 80-degree heat, helplessly sat on the Queen Ka’ahumanu Highway as Norwegian Solveig Løvseth passed her with two miles left to win the 140.6-mile Ironman Kona triathlon title. On Saturday, the roles reversed. Løvseth, having overtaken Knibb with five miles left of the iconic endurance race, began wobbling on Palani Road, just one mile from the finish of the closing marathon run, following a 2.4-mile swim and 112-mile bike. Løvseth came to a stop with seven tenths of a mile to go — after more than eight hours of racing on Hawaii’s Big Island. Knibb, meanwhile, had dropped to nearly two minutes behind Løvseth. She walked through an aid station. She vomited. Her manager wrote on a white board for her to see, “vomiting is normal.”

But one thing yesterday’s Ironman World Championship race proved was that – despite analyzing every last nanobyte of data on training, nutrition, race tactics, or psychology – we’re about as close to the right answer as those endurance pioneers were in 1978.

Culture>NewsBeyond her inspiring victory on the Big Island, Taylor Knibb’s message reminded us why endurance sports create a bond unlike any other. An emotional Taylor Knibb looks out at the crowd after winning the 2026 Ironman World Championship in Kona.

I’m supposed to be an impartial reporter of events, especially when it comes to a race like the Ironman World Championship. But I really, really wanted American Taylor Knibb to win this year – not because we share the same nationality, but because we share the same philosophy. I think you, as a triathlete, share that philosophy, too.
