Triathlon is at the core of FELT. It’s where everything started 35 years ago, and it remains the discipline where performance is tested. Today, that legacy continues under the guidance of Daniela Ryf, 5-time IRONMAN World Champion who now supports the development of the FELT team. Her experience brings direct racing knowledge into how the next generation prepares, races, and evolves.
This past weekend, across three continents, those athletes delivered performances that reflect exactly that, racing shaped by intent, execution, and the ability to perform when conditions are no longer controlled.
SOLVEIG LOVSETH: 1st, IRONMAN Texas
At IRONMAN Texas, Solveig Løvseth took the win with a controlled performance.
Following her breakthrough victory at the 2025 IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Solveig continues to confirm her dominant place among the best of the sport, combining control, strength, and race intelligence across all three disciplines.
Her victory in Texas marks another step foward in what is becoming a defining winning trajectory.
CATHIA SCHÄR: 1st, IRONMAN 70.3 Valencia
At IRONMAN 70.3 Valencia, Cathia Schär won through execution in what was her first race over the distance and her first race abord her FELT IA 2.0. After staying close on the bike, she delivered a decisive run to take control of the race when it mattered most in front of a deep professional field of nearly 35 female athletes.
Winning first time out at this level, in a field of this depth, requires execution. Schär delivered.
SVEN THALMANN: TOP 10, IRONMAN 70.3 VALENCIA
Sven Thalmann finished 8th in a competitive field. A consistent performance across swim, bike, and run placed him among the front of the race and reinforces his position at this level.
JAMIE RIDDLE: IRONMAN SOUTH AFRICA
At IRONMAN South Africa, racing on home soil, Jamie Riddle led out of the swim and held the lead through most of the bike, racing at the front of the field. As the race unfolded, the dynamic shifted.
What followed was not a race for the podium, but a race to the finish line. Riddle pushed through a demanding marathon under fatigue and pressure to complete the race in front of his home crowd.
Holding that line mentally is not given. It is built. Performances like this, when the outcome changes but the commitment does not, are what shape future winners and leaders in the sport.
FELT IA 2.0: THE TRIATLHON RACING WEAPON
Across these races, the FELT IA 2.0 was used in the conditions it is built for: long-distance racing at sustained intensity. Performance at this level is not defined by isolated moments, but by the ability to maintain efficiency over time.
