It has been 3 long years since the Ohana has had the opportunity to have a family reunion on the big island at the Ultraman World Championships. Sheryl and Dave Cobb are happy to be hosting 40 athletes from 15 countries at this race once again.
Sheryl gives us the roster of athletes and Steve King joins us to share his insights and statistical knowledge of a field that he says may be the strongest that he has seen compete at a single race.
There are plenty of stories to be played out between those who are there to complete and those who are there to compete -- especially in the women's field. These include, an athlete looking to be the oldest woman to finish an Ultraman event at age 67, an athlete looking to win her 5th World Championship at 5 different distances, an athlete who is competing in their 20th consecutive World Championship, and an athlete looking to go sub 20 hours.
