Robbie BruceHOST
And it's been really awesome to hear his interviews.
Robbie BruceHOST
And you have a guy like Kristian Blummenfelt all in on Kona.
Robbie BruceHOST
All year long, that's all he talked about.
Robbie BruceHOST
Same thing with Lucy Charles-Barclay, devastated.
Tim FordHOST
Yep.
James BaleHOST
And Kristian Blummenfelt was 24th out the water with a 48:48.
Tim FordHOST
Yeah.
James BaleHOST
Which is, you know, 20, 20, 30 seconds, and that's how big, that's how big that front... and condensed that front group was.
James BaleHOST
And that, at that point, I remember saying to the person standing next to me, I think it was Clara from ROKA.
James BaleHOST
Shout out to Clara.
James BaleHOST
Um, "Kristian Blummenfelt is exactly where he needs to be."
Tim FordHOST
[laughs]
Nick GoldstonHOST
I see Marten Van Riel running up.
Nick GoldstonHOST
I see Kristian Blummenfelt running up, looking like they are suffering.
Nick GoldstonHOST
I'm like, "Look at what this race does to the best in the world." And there were so many-
Paula FindlayHOST
Yeah
Robbie BruceHOST
But h- hearing him talk post-race is he's basically said, like, "I, I knew in the run" and he, "I needed to keep two bullets in the chamber for two specific parts of the course: the energy lab and the last climb before the finish." He's like, "The rest of it, I just had to do, do my thing and, and run my race." And again, like I, I gotta be h- I mean, Magnus Ditlev, again, he held off a lot longer than I thought he would.
Robbie BruceHOST
Uh, the-- I think obviously the most telling part which changed the dynamics in everyone's thought on the r- on the race itself, when you saw Blummenfelt kind of cruise through pretty quickly in the first few timing splits was on the live coverage when he caught the back of Vincent Luis.
Robbie BruceHOST
He didn't ever get, really get shoulder to shoulder, but he got within maybe, what? Three meters behind him.
Robbie BruceHOST
You kind of thought, "Okay, there's another one.
Lachlan JonesHOST
Looked like a awesome setup.
Lachlan JonesHOST
They had obviously both Jan Frodeno and Kristian Blummenfelt in interview on the panel.
Lachlan JonesHOST
They asked both the audience, I think it was Will, Will McCoy asked the audience both times when they were on, if Kristian Blummenfelt was to win...
Lachlan JonesHOST
This was obviously before the race, he asked, he said, "Kristian Bl- if Kristian Blummenfelt wins on the weekend, does he then surpass Jan Frodeno as the greatest of all time?"
Lleyton WallHOST
No.
Lachlan JonesHOST
And everybody, everybody said yes.
Lachlan JonesHOST
That is an 11-year stint of dominance.
Lachlan JonesHOST
2008, and then it was 2015, '16, '18, and '19.
Jude ReynoldsHOST
But that's why personally, I've always said I could be the best in the world by two minutes at HYROX, and I would still find people like James Brade and Khrennikov more impressive.
Jude ReynoldsHOST
I find HYRO- uh, CrossFit athletes some of the most impressive athletes in the world, shy of, you know, maybe Kristian Blummenfelt, Sebastian Sawe.
Jude ReynoldsHOST
I think top-end marathoners-
Paul ReynoldsHOST
Yeah.
Paul ReynoldsHOST
... than any other sport.
Paul ReynoldsHOST
I mean, you know, and, and decathlon comes close for the same reason, that you've got skills in so many different things, and the abilities to be very good at so many different things that I can't get my head around at all, and I find that very impressive.
Paul ReynoldsHOST
More than, more than a top HYROX athlete, more than Sebastian Sawe, or even Kristian Blummenfelt, although it's his cardiovascular system that I find fascinating.
Paul ReynoldsHOST
I mean, it's completely, uh, off the charts.
Rob WilbyHOST
He swept clean everyone before him and I was out in Malta in late 2019 to watch the Super League tri race that was there, and he was just head and shoulders above everybody.
Rob WilbyHOST
He toyed with people and he was racing Gustaf Idan and Kristian Blummenfelt and Hayden Wilde and all those guys were there and I can still clearly remember the sprint finish he put in up the final hill to take the overall championship that day, and he just looked like, he just looked like a different level of athlete.
Rob WilbyHOST
Unfortunately, he picked up injuries over the next year and by the time the Olympics came around, KB took the win.
Rob WilbyHOST
And I've always thought that's a shame for him 'cause if he...
Matt FoxHOST
You can't ignore those things.
Matt FoxHOST
Like if you're on that, you know, that bandwagon of being totally anti, you know, weight loss and stuff, like I don't know how you can ignore Josh Kerr, Vincent Luis, Kristian Blummenfelt, like all these people doing absolutely outrageous performances and then come out afterwards and say they lost a whole lot of weight.
Matt FoxHOST
It's like you can't.
Matt FoxHOST
[chuckles] You have to take that seriously, surely.
Joe SkipperHOST
Yeah
Jake PyeHOST
... on Louis and, and Kristian Blummenfelt-
Joe SkipperHOST
Yeah
Jake PyeHOST
... was still in it at that point.
James BaleHOST
No. Um, yes, St. George was some time ago, and it was hot as, and my bike broke I think the second day after, after arriving there, so I just couldn't ride my bike around, which has annoyed me.
James BaleHOST
Um, but last time we were there, Kristian Blummenfelt won the world championship, and that was the last time I was at a men's Ironman World Championship.
James BaleHOST
I'm hoping that continues.
Tim FordHOST
Now, you, you describe St. George as hot, and you're about to go to Hawaii, and, uh, I'm curious to, to...
20 MINS LATER
Tim FordHOST
Didn't win a...
Tim FordHOST
Don't even, I don't even know where Gregory Barnaby finished in Hawaii, to be honest.
Tim FordHOST
Uh, last year it was Kat Matthews in the women's and Kristian Blummenfelt in the men's, um, neither of who won the world title.
Tim FordHOST
And it does feel like- I, I guess I just have this idea that I, I, I'm so invested and I'm so positive about the Pro...
