Ben Hoffman published the news on social networks "I pushed my limits in training to achieve a top finish in Kona, and unfortunately this time I crossed the limit", said. “I have to announce that I will not be competing in this year's edition of the IRONMAN World Championship due to a stress fracture fourth degree sacrum
I am beyond disappointed, but we are regrouping and doing what we can to move forward and get back to the top. Thank you to everyone who supports this effort. I will still be on the island to support my teammates and sponsors, and I want to wish everyone the best of luck."
