Gustav Iden: 1st Place: 2022 Breakfast with Bob from Kona Championship Edition

[@mdtinnesz]

My favorite thing about Gustav is his lack of filter…. modern athletes are so hesitant to speak their mind… but the Norwegians don’t seem to care… they’re honest and it’s amazingly refreshing. You get REAL answers. I just love them.

[@haidirwasli3692]

coz of sponspor coz they didn't want to lose it

[@ron25umbrella]

You haven’t met any South American athletes

[@GiTGuDGuitaR]

This is true

[@kylemcelroy8217]

Dude is classy. I would hope to be so humble if I was that damn good!

[@deportedsouls3165]

Can't do anything but love this guy! 😊

[@brettyudelman7847]

Not forgetting Two champions here BOB and Gustav--Luv these interviews.

[@babbittville]

Thank you Brett

[@Trinity2876]

Gustav speaks his mind! Strong statements against IM after winning IM Hawaii......Awesome! True champion. Independent mind.

[@CFCMahomet]

Gustav is a gentleman and a beast of a competitor. It’s interesting how we keep hearing the athletes attending Kona, an IM race, referring to how much they love the PTO races. Take note IM.

[@thepearratz]

Amazing dude. Very likable!

[@colindittmer.]

A thoroughly deserving champion 💪

[@acrelake]

I hope Gustav will be back next year. I know he wants to do the Olympics, but he is so good at long course.

[@mdtinnesz]

Great words

Unbelievable catch-up the last 10k. I have never seen anything like that in recent years. Apart from that, I find it quite funny that the sponsors jumped on Blummenfelt so blatantly, i.e. Giant / Cadex with the prototype. And Gustav has been riding a Giant Trinity with rim brake built since around 2016. Don't get me wrong: it is a good bike! Sure, there were a few improvements on it, but mainly his own sponsors, the Giant logo was even not visible. Of course it's clear: no one needs a disc brake for Kona, there are hardly any curves anyway. However, the success of Sam Laidlow, who didn't ride a custom cockpit either, shows that some of the latest gadgets and fancy-new-stuff is not necessary, when the position on the bike is good. And may be the tactics. For all my amazement at the running legs, which may also be somewhat (!) related to the shoes, I actually find that funny. With an older bike, assuming that it was or is a good one, you have virtually no disadvantage. For the industry, of course, it's rather stupid. Hats off to Gustav! And of course a big thanks to Bob for the great interviews. There are also interviews from other people, but the depth and length of the interviews and your own expertise and background is just great. I always enjoy watching!

[@babbittville]

Thank you so much, Felix

[@brittajacobson2523]

Awesome Viking! #1 Yes of course Kona is special the iron man is the home of “ iron man.”

Gustav-be there next year, in whatever shape, and take a go at Jan

Is it possible to buy Breakfast with Bob coffee mugs??

The out-of-focus wide angle drives me crazy.

[@robday3968]

Unbelievable race, loved watching it, but if you think those crowds are amazing you obviously haven't raced Ironman Wales.

[@evanscoaching]

Hey Bob why don't you be the lead the online live coverage? We need more reporting, curiosity and much, much less editorializing. Just report the race, the event. Great interview with Gustav....

[@thomasschonberger8672]

Isn't the Men Olympics Final only on August 5, 2024? That leaves one year in between for Jan, Gustav and Kristian to meet in Kona - or am I missing something?

[@marcuswills6569]

They still have to qualify, so the Olympic cycle starts the year before

[@glywnniswells9480]

Looking at the first 10 time champ here!!!

[@karlosfandango6637]

That us possible yes. But he will bring new talent in later years and there are to many races to distract him to be bother to go for that long. PTO money is a big draw. Back in the 80's/90's they had less races to choose from.

The fact that he won't come back before the Paris Olympics doesn't help to get to 10 wins

@babbittville no followup with sebastian kienle?

[@babbittville]

I'm sure we will chat again at some point.

[@phxrsx]

Seems like Blun and Iden are using team tactics.

[@brittajacobson2523]

It’s ok Gustav get the Olympic Gold and then come back and show us. It can be done faster.

[@mjchecksfield914]

I am wondering with all the cross country skiers in Norway, a sport where that country is the world leader, whether there is a secret pool of genes waiting to move over to Iron Man triathlon. Cross Country skiing is aerobically one of the most challenging of all sports and has a huge element of endurance built in.

[@brianmccammon51]

“Parents race” lol

[@robbo3132]

Norwegians dont have girlfriends, that must be the secret 🌞

Bob pushing hard in the beginning to keep it Kona. Let it go! Time for new history. It really is just a road. The rest of it is marketing. Into the future to lift the sport further now 🎉

You clearly dont know how much conditions have to say. If Jan was in this race he would also crush his own record.
