This is still motivational stuff a few years on. Love the point where Blu says about the teamwork, you never hear a triathlete say that. “First I take on the world, next my team mates”, love it. 🙌😎🇫🇮

[@neilshannon9930]

The look on your face as you came up to the finish probably thinking of all the work you've done, then you're legs nearly fell off when you got to the line. You really did empty the tank that day, it was unbelievable. Good on you mate, keep training hard

[@ChrisPieta]

Amazing performance in Tokyo! All the hard work paid off

[@jasonwucn]

Unbelieveble finished in Tokyo!Power of mountain!!

[@iancollinge2254]

Balls the size of footballs that's what it takes to win the Olympics. Well done Kristian👍🏻

[@diogenes1351]

balls arent aero

[@manicpanic8226]

Here in England, annoyingly a lot of foolish people assumed Kristian was doping just because he looks physically different from a typical triathlete body and because he beat their Yee at the last stretch with his impossible sprint. This video just goes to show all the training and years of pain it took to get that gold! Not doping just pure GRIT. What a champ 🏆

[@swimgood3873]

Never seen any doping claims & I'm UK based. Anyone who follows the ITU circuit should know better!

[@DublinDapper]

All top end performance athletes are doping...do be so naive in 2021..please

[@tbone-ip5fi]

@@DublinDapper LOL. You throw out that statement so confidently, with absolutely no evidence, and yet you ask others to believe you and "not be naive"

[@thomaskristiansengr]

@@tbone-ip5fi spot on 💪🏼

[@thomaskristiansengr]

@@DublinDapper the Norwegian training regime is at absolute world class level! No other teams are close to that.. and on top of that they are a group of guys AND girls who travels almost 300 days a year living,eating,training together 24/7 and still love it.. remember myself on training camp for 2 weeks with a group of different teammates and it’s not always easy… so they are lucky too have such a good group that gives energy an push rather than frustration and conflicts…

🏔3:25 speed is the only thing that matters🏔 enjoying during a performance is sometimes more satisfying than winning

[@ExpeditionaryRanger]

I think coach got a little bit carried away with those lactate tests! Blood to stay on the inside! :o) Great work!

[@getoutmore]

You are a big Inspiration Kristian! Love following you, Gustav, Casper and all of team norway. You guys are next level!! I'm from Germany and the IM Champ is also from Germany but I Hope you or Gustav will Take the Title In Kona! ❤️

Hey mate, been following for over a year now I think. Couldn’t believe I saw my KZbinr win gold at the olympics 😂 I watched this before going out an running a solo 1:20:25 half marathon this morning. You got me in the headspace for a personal best! Keep it up!

[@RLL944]

Kristian you should do a question and answer video as i am sure people have many questions for you after your olympic glory 🥇

Superb performance Sir. Congratulations for winning thr olympic Triathlon!

[@Throp]

Awesome stuff. Congrats on gold man 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@jackychng25]

Run till ear bleeding, wow. Great video!

[@Riskabuen22]

They take the lactate test from the ear. Hence the bleeding

[@MrCeel75]

@@Riskabuen22 I feel like they make it seem it's an achievement. Like "don't stop training until you bleed"...

[@roydos949]

Was amazed at your speed over the last 2 kilometers in Tokyo looked like an all out sprint, what kind of pace was you running?

[@swimgood3873]

Who knows for the last 2km but the average was sub 3min /km pace - around 4.45/mi - freakish off the bike

[@yatimzainal978]

Well done bro.. Are you coming to Samorin for The Championships in 2 weeks time ?

[@fernandovillalon3277]

I just wanna know why he’s bleeding

[@endorphinfitness4590]

Probably because they take little ear pricks to sample his blood lactate numbers during the workout!

[@fernandovillalon3277]

@@endorphinfitness4590 that’s what I supposed. But in every scene the blood stream was getting longer and I was like what the heck😂

@@fernandovillalon3277 from experience: you don’t stop bleeding much between the samples.
