Jakob Ohlsen Published: 27th November 2018
Just as I made an (unofficial) Country-Ranking for the Ironman World Championship 2017 here is the corresponding ranking for the World Championship 2018.
The points are distributed as follows:
1st: 25 points
2nd: 18 points
3rd: 15 points
4th: 12 points
5th: 10 points
6th: 8 points
7th: 6 points
8th: 4 points
9th: 2 points
10th: 1 point
The points are distributed for all age groups/divisions.
Combining all results of the Ironman Hawaii 2018 I ended up with the following nation ranking:
