This week we’re coming at you from the last all-women’s Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. Unfortunately, it’s the end of an Ironman era (for now!) — but we’re going out with a bang. We’ve got all the race drama from the ground — including two frontrunners collapsing while leading the race, a rookie champ who took the world by surprise, podium interviews poolside, and one incredibly badass 80-year-old woman who made history. But first — as always — what happened in women's sports this week:Athlos NYC brought track to Times Square - The vibes? Rock star. Masai Russell, Brittany Brown (who doubled in the 100m and 200m with endometriosis, btw), Marileidy Paulino, Keely Hodgkinson, and Tara Davis-Woodhall all showed up and showed out. Oh, and Faith Kipyegon ran the fastest women’s mile ever on U.S. soil: 4:17.78.The Chicago Marathon: Hawi Feysa from Ethiopia dropped a 2:14:56, the 5th fastest woman's time ever run. UCI Gravel World Championships: Lorena Wiebes outsprinted Marianne Vos for a dramatic finish on this dirt championship that looks and feels a lot like road...Weightlifting World Championships: Olympic gold medalist Olivia Reeves is still breaking all the records. She put up 122kg in the snatch and 154kg in the clean & jerk. That’s 339 pounds, people. How did she break world records and another broke her records? A shift in weight classes cut the number of categories from ten down to eight. WNBA Finals: The Aces took it in four over the Phoenix Mercury. But the real talk is about negotiations over the players' collective bargaining agreement — with team valuations skyrocketing (yes, over $100 million in the last year), the stakes are high and the money’s moving. COMING UP: Red Bull Rampage is this Thursday and Chelsea Kimball will be throwing downTHEN: All things KONAWhy this was the final all-women’s Ironman World Championship in HawaiiThe race: Absolute chaos and courage — Lucy Charles-Barclay and Taylor Knibb both collapsed, and Norwegian rookie Solveig Løvseth stayed steady and strong for the winThe podium: Hear from Solveig, Kat Matthews (who ran a marathon course record in the heat and humidity), Laura Philipp, and Hannah BerryThe real legend: Natalie Grabow, 80-year-old woman became the oldest woman to ever finish the Ironman World Championships. (If you're wondering: While Sister Madonna was 82 (!) when she finished Ironman Canada in 2012, no one has ever been able to make the cutoff times in Hawaii's brutal conditions. Until now)The heat, the heartbreak, the heroics — all of it, straight from KonaFeisty Picks of the WeekSARA: Yep, it's Solveig, our new Ironman World Champ KELLY: And did you know J.Lo ran a 4:49 mile in high school??
