Breaking Janteloven to Become World Champion | Daniel Baekkegard & Magnus Ditlev 🇩🇰

Both Daniel Baekkegard and Magnus Ditlev are rising stars in the world of professional triathlon. PTO World Rankings inside the top 15 put them within striking distance of becoming greats within the sport.
However, it's not been an easy ride. From fighting the Scandinavian cultural law of Janteloven, to being sacked from the Olympic team and enduring two major crashes, both athletes have faced immense adversity within their early careers.
Now they are ready to embark on a mission to become the best in the world in 2022.

Wow what a video. Really good job showing 2 completely different personalities and their stories. Very good job PTO. i really hope Daniel keeps on kicking banners down if he wins another ironman (annoying you couldnt use the footage)

[@michaelellison8329]

Both of you guys serve to double world champions and hope you do... Good luck

[@stasszczesniak]

Was this sponsored by Zwift or sth ? A suspcious amount of praise in an otherwise great video

[@emmacai2249]

So impressive!! They are the greatest!! What two life models for the young!

[@vadimrebrov7587]

Oh guys! This is a great movie. Very deep thought in it) Who would have thought...) Strong athletes! Now it has become even more interesting to follow them.

[@stewconway2523]

Great insight! Magnus power to you on getting up from the canvas time after time, Daniel for pushing through the dark and ignore the haters! Skip it, both quality gents and inspirational- see you in Utah

[@oleksd]

Thanks for the great video! A good point about abandoning janteloven (although you both are very humble as to me but, maybe, not enough in Danish standards)💪 It would be really great to see you on the World's podium one day!

[@Patrick-xv3si]

pto really overtaking ironman in all areas. bravo

[@mitchwest9667]

F the Haters boys! The U.S. loves you!!!

[@swimbikerundie]

What's the point of telling a bunch of you tube viewers that you are aiming to be the best at your sport? Isn't that obvious and expected from a pro athlete? I can understand saying that once, in case someone missed what pro means, but for a whole 10 minutes ? It seems a message tailored for superficial rhetoric that unfortunately is pervasive in US sports and fitness culture. Head down, less talking, the facts speak for you.

Calm down love

There’s alway some person who has to be negative. Seriously? Get a life.

Someone forgot to take his pills...

Yet here you are commenting.

[@antonnyoliveira6269]

Awesome short video... I learned a lot about these two great athletes. Great job PTO!

[@robbo3132]

That win in Austria was pretty epic, I could understand the finishline emotion, even before the back story. Next time someone tells you to celebrate more or less or how to feel, just ask them to show you how it's done next time they win an ironman

[@leewalters2794]

Or, he could reflect on how it must have felt for the women holding the banner when he aggresively ripped it out of their hands.

[@manuelsilva6833]

Daniel is one great human being, no doubt.

[@costelpintea4141]

Great athletes, amazing humans beings! That's right, you both can be unbeatable! Can't wait to see you in 2022! Love from Canada!

[@kivosanli5273]

[@niklas_ludwig]

Great to learn more about the danish rockets!

[@RamyaRG-qb7ko]

Love Magnus. Humble guy who is a beast on race day. Daniel is always fun and energetic

[@thomasm989]

Wouaw 🥰 avoir de très grosse ambition et rester humble ... C'est ça qui fait un athlète pro le meilleur

[@Anza_34832]

Humbleness is excellent and very honorable. It doesn’t and should not prevent people to aspire special goals.

[@markwt2680]

Awesome video, great story telling and nice to see something genuine and real.

[@peedtm]

He said all that without a single hint of irony! Truly impressive.

[@Cubo225]

more of this stuff !

[@MrDdeerr]

16:36 - Awesome moment!

[@robbo3132]

This video is underrated, I love the cinematic photography snd the stiry telling.. ....the athletes have great stories but also full credit to the crew❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@VanillaSky23ffm]

Met Magnus at Portugal 70.3 - great guy and a absolute machine on the bike, he was fastest pro and i was fastest amateur on the bike - both with self made aero bar covers :-))) love how the guy races

[@chanzhao3379]

Watching this over and over. Their mind games is what’s so interesting.
