复仇成功！尼布最后一英里反超夺冠，24年来第二位美国人问鼎科纳铁人世锦赛
10月10日，铁人三项世锦赛在夏威夷大岛凯卢阿-科纳（Kailua-Kona）落下帷幕，美国选手泰勒·尼布（Taylor Knibb）在全程140.6英里的鏖战中，于终点前最后0.7英里反超卫冕冠军、挪威名将索尔维格·勒夫塞斯（Solveig Løvseth），一举夺得女子世界冠军。
尼布成为继2022年切尔西·索达罗（Chelsea Sodaro）之后，24年来第二位在科纳夺冠的美国人（无论男女），也是首位集奥运奖牌与科纳冠军于一身的美国选手。尼布曾两夺奥运会铁人三项混合接力银牌。
比赛过程极具戏剧性。在2.4英里游泳和112英里骑行之后，勒夫塞斯在26.2英里马拉松还剩约5英里时反超尼布，眼看卫冕在望。但进入最后一英里，勒夫塞斯突然步履蹒跚、瘫坐在路面上，尼布抓住机会完成超越，一骑绝尘冲过终点。
这场胜利更是一场迟到一年的复仇。2025年，剧情几乎一模一样，只是主角互换：当时正是勒夫塞斯在还剩2英里时超越了瘫坐的尼布夺冠，而尼布在高温折磨下未能完赛。一年之后，尼布用同样的方式把冠军拿了回来。
男子组方面，法国选手樊尚·路易斯（Vincent Luis）以非官方成绩7小时47分27秒夺冠。这既是他的铁人世锦赛首秀，按他赛前的说法，也可能是他的谢幕之战。这位37岁的东京奥运会混合接力铜牌得主在跑步赛段开始时还落后丹麦选手马格努斯·迪特列夫（Magnus Ditlev）5分34秒，还剩7.7英里时仍落后3分31秒；但迪特列夫随后开始走跑交替，路易斯在约5英里处完成反超，并最终以95秒的优势力压2022年冠军、挪威的古斯塔夫·伊登（Gustav Iden）——伊登在骑行赛段因跟骑被罚时3分钟。
路易斯赛后说：“我感觉非常好；过去三个月我全力备战，心想这是最后一次为一场比赛如此拼命。我经历了最后三四公里的黑暗时刻。100%值得，但接下来的人生怎么过，让我先过几个不眠之夜再决定。”
为保障赛事安全，FBI檀香山分局与合作伙伴在凯卢阿-科纳周边执行了联邦航空局划设的临时飞行限制，严打“黑飞”无人机。FBI表示，执法人员可动用专业探测设备识别并扣押违规无人机，违者最高可面临7.5万美元民事罚款、10万美元刑事罚款及一年监禁。

Redemption in Kona: Taylor Knibb Passes Løvseth in Final Mile to Win Ironman World Title
The Ironman World Championship concluded on October 10 in Kailua-Kona on Hawaii's Big Island, where American Taylor Knibb overtook defending champion Solveig Løvseth of Norway with seven-tenths of a mile left in the 140.6-mile race to capture the women's world title.
Knibb became the second American — woman or man — to win in Kona in 24 years after Chelsea Sodaro in 2022, and the first American ever to pair an Olympic medal with a Kona title. Knibb is a two-time Olympic mixed-gender triathlon relay silver medalist.
The race was pure drama. After the 2.4-mile swim and 112-mile bike, Løvseth passed Knibb with just under five miles left in the 26.2-mile marathon run and looked bound for a repeat. But with a mile to go, Løvseth began wobbling and sank to the pavement seated — and Knibb seized the moment, passing her to run away with the title.
The victory was also revenge a year in the making. In 2025, the script was nearly identical with the roles reversed: Løvseth overtook a seated Knibb with two miles left to win, while Knibb, struggling in the heat, did not finish. A year later, Knibb took the crown back the same way.
In the men's race, Vincent Luis of France won in an unofficial 7:47:27 — both his Ironman World Championship debut and, by his pre-race account, possibly his final race. The 37-year-old Tokyo Olympic mixed relay bronze medalist trailed Denmark's Magnus Ditlev by 5:34 going into the run and still by 3:31 with 7.7 miles left; but Ditlev began intermittently walking, Luis passed him with just under five miles to go, and held off 2022 champion Gustav Iden of Norway by 95 seconds. Iden had served a three-minute drafting penalty on the bike.
"I just felt really good; the last three months I prepared, and I was like, this is the last time I have to commit that hard for a race," Luis said afterward. "I went through some dark places in the last three or four kilometers. 100% worth it, but let me have a few nights out to decide what I'll do with my life now."
For security, FBI Honolulu and partners enforced FAA temporary flight restrictions around Kailua-Kona, cracking down on rogue drones. Agents could use specialized detection tools to identify and seize violators' drones; offenders face up to $75,000 in civil fines, $100,000 in criminal fines and up to a year in prison.
