Jan Frodeno & Kristian Blummenfelt Face to Face | PTO European Open 🎙

[@T100Triathlon]

Who will win the race on Saturday? Jan, Kristian or someone else?

[@thedeadlyexplorers7514]

Maxy Neuman!! Sleeping on him

[@alexemarian6075]

I hope Jan😍

[@robbo3132]

Is collin racing?

[@michaelchu7114]

Would love to see Jan win but I think Kristian will take it

[@leslie7922]

Regardless of position it's great to see Jan back

[@jonrothe9992]

Jan's face at the Men's predictions is priceless... I could see fire in his eyes.

[@gtn]

This was a lot of fun - we can't wait to see how it unfolds this weekend 🔥

[@alexvongentzkow2917]

Gotta love Jan‘s trashtalk skills! 😂 . Great video format, guys!

[@JeffreyNijstad]

A lot of respect, but also a lot of rivalry!

[@SandyWhisker]

For continuous improvement I’d recommend similar volume on the interviewer’s mic 🎤 looking forward to an excellent race, thanks 🙏

[@thedeadlyexplorers7514]

Thank you PTO for this footage and this media / hype. We are here for it 🙏🏽

[@timpfluger]

Thank you Jan and Kristian for your words on the sport and how to move forward. Tough to be asked these questions.

[@jasonwisinski6793]

I love how Kristian just jumps right in on his predicted placings. They are both awesome and this was great to watch.

[@leeomurchu1213]

This is gonna be epic. Both the guys look in great shape and pretty confident looking. Hopefully Brownlee is in equally good shape and can stir things up on the bike/run. Also please let there be no injuries 🤞🤞

[@FoliFlipper]

I think one of the best interviews in triathlon yet... beefy, informative, respectful, funny, serious, spot on, honest and not dodging any questions by puting out reflected and well placed answers. THANKS for that!!! Good luck to all! Foli

[@robbo3132]

This interview is great! Jan took the answers off the familiar beaten path and really took the bull by the horns. Kristian is still the young blushing pro, Jan the ambassador champion 🏆

[@dschaumburg]

Great athletes with a very different nature. Kristian, as the clear favourite, is rather reserved, while Jan shows that he is quick-witted and on fire. Both can leave as winners of hearts. Only one can win tomorrow's race.

[@kesslerobrien847]

Gotta Love it... A battle we've been wanting! I'm ecstatic that Jan is back! I think Kristian will indeed take the win this weekend, but this is not the end!!!

[@thomhill7540]

Kristian.B so confident but low-profile at the end for the winning I love this guy.

[@mariomuscat5850]

I love the respect they have for each other. Thanks PTO

[@sodaresoda]

Blu is sweating more during this interview than he usually does in the middle of a race. Good luck to both!

[@danieledarugna8981]

Yes I noticed that too.... poor guy all eyes are on him for a number of reasons. I see humanity in that sweating/body language, agree?

Yes I agree he is star struck sitting next to his hero.

[@salvatorerondinelli]

Amazing stuff!! Jan genuinely nervous and Kri a little bit more confident, but both smiling and respecting each other. Perfect image of today's professional triathlon.

[@hansschenker]

"I am the first" and no doubts in the face - that's brilliant - even it might not be the case on race finish!

[@samhyderoberts4332]

You have to hand it to Jahn… a real ambassador and a true legend!

[@shortbyme-b1l]

The fact that Jan is racing its good to see him back as of now he still the goat, Yes new generation it’s coming but they have to catch up.

[@nathanmclain9027]

Love the fire in Christian. I think the GOAT will show him just how important having tons of racing experience is and Jan will top the podium.

[@troystein2404]

Blumey shows more desire than wisdom. He’s fearless and ambitious and enough to not be ignored. Emotionally Jan didn’t respond at the end and has complete confidence in his ability.

[@adventureclubadrian]

I'm super hyped! Thanks for putting up the interview!

[@troycollett8540]

The banter leading up to this race has been great

[@DanielCastro-nw7bj]

Amazing content. I started in the tri world last year but its already a huge part in my life

[@joshbrown6125]

Absolute gold! Can’t wait!

[@colmsheahan6991]

Love the way KB gave his prediction. Definitely rocked Jan a bit!!!

[@scottreutter]

That last comment from Kristian is going to fire up Jan even more!

[@nathanielsnyder1323]

I really hope Jan pulls off the W!!

[@gulbilsux]

Hyped 🔥

[@craigmunro2129]

Can't wait for this tomorrow..going to be shouting at my TV.. come on Jan...come on Blu..go on yerself Ali😅😅😅😅😅regardless of result its going to be epic🎉

[@lachlanclark3074]

Great chat they're pumped!! And soooo much better than the IM pre race chats.

[@chrisborgerding1615]

well done! more of this please.

[@fabianthaesler1317]

Let's have a great race - these guys are ready! Thanks to Jan to speak out what it needs, about doping. It's this kind of clarity, because it's the call for ACTION - NOW! Don't stop with showing friendly words about the theme - and don't take tests only 'in front of the cameras', near raceday. These tests are nearly useless. All the best for all clean athletes on raceday! Now, it's showtime!

[@gurnihalsingh3549]

Get yourself someone who looks at you the way Kristian looks at Jan... 2:30 onwards.

[@nicholassorg1134]

If Jan comes off the bike first it’s gonna be hard to track him down, can’t wait

[@troycollett8540]

Cam wurf is racing too

[@annaliesmith8699]

excellent commentary re Colin and EPO

[@robbo3132]

Thanks to Jan....

[@jmw2224]

KB wasn't saying very much.

[@tri-bambalinas6706]

so cool

[@maniastrat]

Great vid thanks! Agree with everything Jan said about the EPO case

[@finnwilliams3945]

Gooooosebumps

[@geraldkiessling]

How about penalties if doping is proven within a year of the race? In addition to a refund of premiums? The additional money could go to lower-ranked athletes, who not only would have had a better placement, but probably also additional income from the achievement of sponsorship targets.

[@zwtvchannel]

Can really see it in Jans face how fucked off he is about it.

[@anacall9485]

“…bring my yacht and sleep in the harbor…” Yes. That would be amazing.

Why didn’t you give the interviewer his own mic?

Collin should be scared to ever meet Jan in person again...he might decide he's over triathlon and move on to boxing...🥊

Is it necesarry to press the collin chartier in every topic? 2 legends of the sport and we have to go to this topic again..

[@MartialLawTV54]

Just wished you’ve also prepared a mic for the interviewer.

[@pal_lokomotivet2679]

If they start to run together they dont have a chance against Kristian unless he has problems. The swim is the big X. If they drop Kristian and Jan and Alistar can bike together they can tire Kristian out

[@jhonnimencias5048]

I have a feeling that Jan will destroy the field on Saturday , he is angry inside

[@abuckeye26]

I don't think it's possible to destroy Kristian. If Jan is in great form like he mentioned here, I think him and KB run away from the field but KB distances himself in the last 5k of the run. Or Magnus surprises everyone and leads into T2 and never gives it up

[@ManuelLafer]

Great interview, but please give the interviewer a mic as well next time...

[@lazola808]

I’m a Jan fan , but watching this interview again and evaluating the body language of both athletes during the doping part of the video, left me with a funny feeling. For the sake of the sport, I hope these doping allegations are false

[@jmw2224]

KB seemed uncomfortable didn't he.

[@TheNjackets]

Ali Brownlee is going to make both these dudes his bitches, just like he used to in ITU!

[@timrush8544]

I hate to say it but I read people for a living and there is something not right about Jan's eye movement and reaction when he responds about Chartier's doping. Obviously it doesn't make him guilty of anything but it is interesting to say the least.

[@danielmodesto620]

Don't think Allistair gets a podium. I hope it is Kristian, Jan and Magnus

[@robbo3132]

You never know. Has blu been riding the cadex in sierra nevada? He was never comfy on it even when he was full time long course....cramps coming?

[@danielmodesto620]

@@robbo3132 had already one cramp. For sure Olav is doing something on this taper. And this guys don't post every train, we don't know nothing for sure. We have to wait and see

[@_J.F_]

Totally agree with Jan. Doping is fraudulent behaviour and should carry a matching punishment. Once you start 'closing your eyes' to this criminal behaviour the sport is completely destroyed.

[@robbo3132]

The main problem with doping is prize money, triathlon was more dope proof when it was just about love of the sport and fringe attention

[@Cuoregazm]

They didnt convince me about themselves being clean...seems alike alot of bullshit talk.

[@Sportfot]

Am I the only one who can hear the questions lol
