This sport needs more people like you Sebi, a world class athlete who is so damn humble.... You will most certainly be missed... Thanks for the memories champ..

[@rogerc23]

He’s definitely personable.

[@jamesbarnhoorn3941]

Truely a world class athlete and to be able to hear such detailed insight makes you such an asset to be the sport on top of the talent that you bring

[@rogerc23]

Absolutely loved the series. What I would love more is before you retire you go to Tucson and train with Lionel for a month and do a race together (not before Kona, a less serious race). That would be an epic training and race series and you guys recount your battles over the last decade with video and commentary and interviews. Absolute admiration for you both 💪🏼

[@hermannk.1527]

@@rogerc23 ever heard about Challenge Roth, Lionel needs to race their this year. You have to check the start field so far

[@rogerc23]

@@hermannk.1527 Yes. Great idea.

[@theatricshrink]

Sebi, you are an inspiration no matter the result. Hats off for finishing it.

[@WtfYoutube_YouSuck]

i don't know..he kinda sucked.

[@willjoc]

The chat between Sebi & Lionel, along with the respect shown between Lionel and Braden really highlights the best of this sport. Congrats Sebi, awesome effort!

[@TheDomLouis]

After so many years with various injuries and niggles, I was very happy to see you start and finish. I'm looking forward to how you'll build from here to Kona. Stay fit and healthy!! Onwards and Upwards 💪🏽❗️❗️

[@eamarozzn]

Brutally honest and touching video. Thanks for the memories, champ. As a 40yo who's just signed up for my first sprint tri, I gotta tell that you are one of the reasons I decided to start in the sport. Thanks!

[@heinbloed660]

Mag gar nicht daran denken, dass die Rennen ab 2024 ohne dich im Profistarterfeld sein werden. Du bist eine Legende und Vorbild für unzählige Amateurathleten. Danke für alles!

[@Ironguy1981]

Impossible to not love this guy, first class all the way!!!!!!! Absolutely a legend and inspiration to so many!!!!!!!!

[@arnaudpoelmans802]

Not easy to shot this video… but certainly one of your best. Hard race from a brave man with wise words. Always such an inspiring athlete… Recover well, you’ll come back stronger in the next race!

[@ZenEndurance]

Seb, you signed an autograph for my son at Galveston like 5 years ago and it is still one of his life highlights. You are the best. Keep it up!

[@uschil7353]

Uff, das war sicher kein leichtes Interview. Aber auch wenn das Ergebnis nicht das war, was du dir (und auch ich dir) gewünscht hättest, du hast durch gehalten und gekämpft. Du bist und bleibst eine wahre Inspiration für diesen Sport und auch darüber hinaus.

[@jeuelc]

Still one of the very best! The grace and sportsmanship speaks a lot. And the insights to the race makes it more interesting. Kudos!

[@michaelclark8091]

It was great to meet you at the bike check-in. Thanks for taking a few moments for an age grouper.😀

[@enkidu2562]

You're an inspiration Sebi, thank you for putting it all out there and showing tremendous heart by finishing. Best of luck with everything. This sport has a lot to thank you for. ♥️ You'll get them next time.

[@kategibson5540]

Loved the video, very honest and real. I loved the segment where you were talking to Lionel. I would imagine it meant a lot to him to get so much praise from you, again very honest, no pretense. I'm sure your family is very proud of you. Keep it up Sebi!

[@hammondnrhodes]

I admire two talented Sebastians, Bach and Kienle. Your an amazing athelete and human being. You'll have such a wonderful time as a parent. Great video series.

[@CorySlykerman]

The wise old man of Triathlon. We so much appreciate an emotional appraisal. Best of luck in the future- love you man!!!

[@Krilin84]

Always interesting to hear post race reflections. I appreciate the openness! Best wishes for the future

[@kevinterry5746]

Thank you for the honesty and the raw comments on the race. We really appreciate your comments and hearing about your race (and the struggles). Keep racing Champ!!

[@Runmaerun]

Sebi - you are just a class act and love hearing your thoughts and watching you race.

[@cmlracing7524]

Great effort and that will be one of the most important life lessons for your son by finishing the race! Teaching by example to never give up.

[@srkcnu]

A true legend. Courageous and humble. Not too many professionals would have the courage to open up like this.

[@vernonanderson9906]

Absolute class athlete! Genuine and humble! There is more left in you yet, no one has written you off 💪💪👍

[@PeterKracik]

Can’t wait to see your next race 💪 And in my opinion as a spectator, there’s no reason to be disappointed, we would like to see you on the podium, but you didn’t blow off either and finished with great time.

[@fabianthaesler1317]

This is a grand finale for this series! Because it's so deeply honest. The champ in the bath. With many big questions and thoughts ahead of what to do next. It is the fighter's great battle in the afterglow. Thanks for sharing! Thanks for filming! All the best! Don't call him out!

[@gusharg]

What a cerreer, what a race, no matter the result, we all know this was needed for you to surprise the world this coming october, all our respect and recognition for your tenacity and your modesty during all these years...

[@fernandog.aguirre2791]

I love to watch these three guys celebration and enjoying the after race and life! No drama queens here! Sebastian, you are a Legend!!!!!!!! Alohas from Maui!

[@nimbra2]

The honest introspective is great content, and your humble yet still ambitious character is inspiring. Good luck this season!

[@julimov24]

People like Sebi make the sport so great. What a gentlemen, that’s true sportsmanship! I know Sebi still has great performances before his retirement date!

[@sarahsaville6829]

Mad respect for Sebastian!! Good job brotha!! I don't normally get choked up and emotional watching triathlon vids but ya got me SK! Big fan and your the epitome of professional excellence man!! The speed at which you pros push yourselves to in a 140.6 is unfathomable!! Mad Respect!!!!🏊🚴🏃

[@FranciscoTAvalos]

Sebastian - This was one of the best and most honest post-race recap from your point of view. Whatever you decide to do next, you'll always have the glory of being a champion!

[@DP-sh3nk]

Sebie! My son's a 13yr triathlete & just competed in his first USAT draft legal development race and he LOVES you! You're an inspiration & such a class athlete and an asset to the triathlon community. All the best this year

[@martinhauske155]

SEBI, you are a true inspiration- would have been easy to give up, but you didn’t. 8:14 on an absolute monster course - chapeau! Can’t wait to see you in Kona! The best is yet to come!

[@marvingallo8069]

Sebi, you are an inspiration. I joined the sport around 2011 and trained countless times visualizing what it would be like to perform like you. Cheer up champ! Btw. my son (also Sebi) and I were cheering you on all day. Onwards!

[@MrOronuts]

you might not realize it, but its always a joy watching you perform and of course, also explain your race thoughts and share them in your Seb-Style. I appreciate it!

[@rainbowmonkMC]

thank you for your deep insights and tough racing Sebi! you are a huge inspiration for so many. but what touched me most throughout this series was the powerful, raw emotions you have for your son and wife. you will be an amazing father/husband after these final professional races 🔥🔥 cant wait to see you and lionel torch Kona together on the bike by being patient the first half as a team :)

[@onepunchbud1472]

So ein Rennen hatte ich bei meiner letzten Langdistanz auch. War so fit wie noch nie und die PB muss kommen - ich konnte im Rennen nicht mal ansatzweise meine Trainingsleistungen bringen. Es ging einfach gar nichts, habe mich halt durchgebissen. Im Nachhinein vermute ich eine unterschwellige Infektion, die nicht ausgebrochen war. Nach dem Rennen wurde ich dann krank. Sowas ist einfach nur frustrierend... 😥 Kopf hoch, du bist und bleibst ein Champ & ein super Typ. Es hat einen Grund, warum dir so viele die Daumen drücken. Vielleicht kommt ja in Hawaii noch mal alles zusammen, wünschen würden es dir jedenfalls alle! 👍

[@guyhachey5752]

Thank you Sebastien for your candor and your Race reflections. Don’t give up! You still have so much to offer and several key Races ahead of you. You inspire me. Thanks. Guy

[@jkapeliela]

It was a pleasure watching you race and cheering you on the side lines. You are still amazing Sebi, keep it up!

[@robertroguszczak6401]

Bro ...u r awesome.... hope to see u more and more, even if u end your career. You are the great spirit of triathlon. I will never forget of a some short video of u passing the competition on the bike with such a speed that i thought that the video was speed up. Incredible

[@parichitbagga]

SEBI rules. You are amazing my friend, and you have dominated my desktop wallpaper since 2012! Well, Fillipo Ganna took a few well-deserved short stints! 😉

[@ludoviclemaire9965]

You are such an example Sebastian. You can be proud of who you are and what you achieved ! Thank you !

[@berndliebscher5278]

Hallo Sebastian….. authentic, down to earth and full of kindness while at the same time a absolut competitive human racing “machine”with lots of drive, motivation and dedication. I have sooooo much respect for the person you are and the things you achieve! Your my role model in so many ways…. No matter the results, always a pleasure to hear, see and and follow you racing! Your personality already makes you a legend in this sport! Thank you Sebastian!!!! My biggest wish is to meet in real, shake hands and express my gratitude for all the great inspiration you are giving!! Danke!

[@plants4thewin]

Im glad you finished and didnt quit. Dont beat yourself up too much. I enjoyed following the series.

[@johannes17tv]

Thanks for your insights! And what great sportsmanship to appreciate Lionels performance. Hope to see you on top in the next big races :) Cheers from Bavaria

[@nathanmclain9027]

We’ll done on finishing! I’m no world champ like you but, as a triathlete with a family who sacrifices to support me doing this, you must finish what you start if at all possible. Also loved the honest analysis of someone who executed the way you wanted to today with Lionel. We’ll done champ. Class act.

[@Maazel1]

NIEMAND ist wie Du! Typ durch und durch... Immer wieder eine Freude! Viel Spaß zurück bei der Family... & Viel Erfolg beim nächsten Rennen!

[@briandekeyser]

Take your time and make the best decision for you and your family. Would love to see you make as many runs at the World Championships as you WANT to.

[@joemalone4322]

Brilliant sebbi. One more time baby…can’t wait to see you racing again.

[@ianbrueggemann5289]

Professional sport is entertainment, you and Lionel are entertaining and motivating, a great combination, well done!

[@Gws525]

Loved the tribute to Lionel. Two OG's of the sport recognizing each other!

[@dmiddleton1985]

My favorite racer... you are a true world class. Love watching you race sebi, get back to the podium.

[@bertrand9345]

Just top notch. Thanks Sebi. This is such a good video and it takes a certain athlete and personality to be able to comment so objectively on the race - especially so soon after it. What an inspiration and so looking forward to the rest of your season!

[@wezhira4107]

You are my forever champion, my all time favorite triathlete. I am super proud that you stuck it out. Love your reflection.

[@sidoiscool]

You are still one of the greatest, no matter what the next results will be! such a fair and honest athlete, a true inspiration...

[@Dmcsquared68]

Anyone that can sit and chat in an ice bath without wincing is a true pro. ;-)) you’re the greatest, keep pounding Sebby!!

[@davidfarrington5608]

Brilliant. Just brilliant assessment. True legend of the sport.

[@micha6337]

Glückwunsch für deine Leistung in Utah, Sebi. Das war in Anbetracht deiner langwierigen Verletzung mit deiner Achillessehne ein absoluter Erfolg. Dieser Erfolg wird dir gut tun und dich definitiv für das nächste Rennen in diesem Jahr bestens motivieren. Bleib unverletzt und weiterhin alles Gute für dich.

[@Roo-one]

[@tonythomas8435]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with such honesty. That's pretty rare these days! Hope you get to enjoy some time with your family before hitting it hard again!

[@sergiheredero4866]

Don't think too much with your position today, if you train well and keep motivated, best results will arrive in the next races. Congratulations Sebi!💪💪💪

[@rogerc23]

Absolutely loved the series. What I would love more is before you retire you go to Tucson and train with Lionel for a month and do a race together (not before Kona, a less serious race). That would be an epic training and race series and you guys recount your battles over the last decade with video and commentary and interviews. Absolute admiration for you both 💪🏼

I LOVE the honesty of this video

[@fergaloleary1295]

What a champion and a great human being. This is why people cheer you on.

Sebi, stay healthy and peak in Kona. Great video with very candid emotion. I felt bummed about my race too

[@wrxzboost]

[@p.w.7140]

Weiter so Sebi!! Nächste Chance auf Hawaii 🤙🤙freue mich schon!!

[@dmend2978]

Dude the genuine essence of life shows through you much more than many of us in this planet. I’m excited because I know you have it in you, and I’m feeling maybe that the fire in you might have been re-ignited sort of speak. Way to perform on a truly savage course. You are an inspiration to me and many of us, love your channel, please do continue posting no matter what, because I feel energized through my training sessions when I get inspired with your videos. 👊🏼🙌🏼

[@barfy-man3628]

We love you!! Thanks for what you did for the sport!!!!!!!

[@klimkk]

Sebastian, I once heard in 2014 very motivational and emotional words which keep me going and motivated in my sport career: "Never judge your life because of a one bad day. Judge it because of the best day!" Those are your words. It's an honour to see you racing on that high level! :)

[@REN0XX]

Thanks for sharing Sebi, series was great. Looking forward to seeing you perform in Kona

[@kastierV]

Sebi, thanks for the journey and sharing it in very open and human way. ups and downs, expextations and reality, that's sport, that's life. I wish you one more big win, but if it does not work well, fuck it, have a beer and enjoy the sunset.

[@julianmiddlewick6605]

You are a class athlete and more importantly a classy person Sebi. Thank you

[@justsumtriduuude]

Awesome performance. Nice to know that pros get emotional about their performances!!

[@alfonsoahuja9830]

All class! Total champion in life and sport! Thanks for being you!

[@ricecrash5225]

Sebastian, stay patient, enjoy the process and don’t be too hard on yourself. 14th in that field on that course is an amazing result.

[@bernardtaylor7792]

Sebi, thank you. the sport is much better because of you. Danke
