Chasing The Lion

[@liamwoodward3306]

Lionel is a huge inspiration for me, and one of the reasons why I got into triathlon.

[@marcypitt1]

Bien

[@banyaszbence1429]

What a legend and where he is now, improved a lot but still humble and really strict for himself

[@carloschorao7386]

What an inspirational individual.

[@geneclarke2205]

Lionel Sanders; “Substitute a negative addiction for a positive addiction.”

[@raffaelrusso7397]

Sanders fully admits that his initial attraction to triathlon was that he was trading one addiction for another. Now, five years into an elite career, his mindset is different. He’s on a single-minded mission to search for his limits. “It’s an outlet,” he says. “These lessons are much deeper than swim, bike and run. It’s about orientation and learning how to go about improving once you set your mind on something. Perserverance. How to motivate yourself when times are tough. Triathlon is just the expression of the deeper things that I’m involved in. If I couldn’t do triathlon, I would do all this with something else.” Interview in Triathlonworld.com

From addiction to the best triathlete in the world. What a story. Lionel, you are in inspiration. Keep doing you

[@garyfellows6835]

I'm a huge fan but he's not the fastest triathlete in the World. Huge potential that has yet to be realised or wasted.

[@andyho6340]

I really enjoyed this mini documentary. Lots of insight into what it takes to be the best. Even the pros have self doubt which shows their human despite going like a train!

[@kennethhook]

Awesome video Lionel. Will watch as you progress conquering the icons of the sport!

[@roprezm]

That NINJA roll move in the water was awesome. Like a stunt for a Movie! Lionel Canadian Ninja Night Warrior could be the title

[@roprezm]

You need to have Huuuge Balls to wear a Camelback as a Pro @Kona! Oh wait is Lionel Sander. He has King Kongs

[@martykott5565]

[@jaredburkey8]

I’m 17 and just signed up for my first Ironman and am super excited but after watching this that excitement is on another level. Amazing and thanks for the inspiration

[@mattjohnston7007]

Jared Burkey great to hear, Jared. Good luck on your race!

[@123huskieman]

I thought you had to be 18 to do an ironman?

[@ironmantooltime]

Guessing it's not full distance or u mean triathlon?

[@samanderson7745]

@@123huskieman You can be 17 when you sign up so long as you're 18 on or before race day.

[@marcypitt1]

[@JCNegri]

El LEON.

[@Hardknockwow]

No hay nada malo con un poco de coca y mariguana 😇

[@johnnyb1897]

I never related to another athlete till now.

[@darrenmcguinness9213]

When is he back in training for 2018

[@PetrCívela]

Drug experience is very useful in professional sport.

[@SuperPathfinder10]

first a cancer guy now a former drug addict become world champion? Pretty similar story. He found a new way, body controll protection damage by abuse, massiv will power?? - maybe. Sucess in 6 years not 10 to 15. That raises a lot of questions. To many sport miracles turned out to be substance abuse. He had nothing to lose, he has abig ego why not risk it? In a field with most honost athletes there are chances. Hopefully he didn't take the shortcut. Time will tell.

[@su3316]

SuperPathfinder10 good of you to put that seed out there. That comparison..... Not to speak of the degrading attitude towards an addict. Im an addict myself and working out is my life and im offended on his behalf how easily you make accusations solely based on his background and steady progression.... Sickening

[@utilars]

Full Ironman is how some people (including myself) deal with severe pain... In order to be "successful" at Ironman, it helps to have experienced traumatic events. "Normal" people sometimes don't get it...

[@MatzeMumpitz]

Has Lionel ever met Andreas Niedrig?

[@franklingorbachev3429]

Loved it but really could have done with out the fake commentators. A standard narrator would have been a much better choice. Or have Lionel do a voice over himself as narration for the race footage.
