I have a eight year old son and he only likes triathlon because of you, you are his favorite triathlete! I had never watched a triathlon race or an Ironman triathlon before 2021 Ironman Cozumel, now I see the reason why my son admires you so much! Thank you for being a great role model for him to look up to!

[@kristian.blummenfelt]

Oh that’s inspiring to hear 🙏👊🏻👊🏻

[@ChrisPieta]

Incredible, on another level. New era of ironman!

[@bobsponge5773]

Not really. Have a look at the adjusted numbers (Thorsten Radde/PTO) due to optimal conditions. And never forget, that an easy swim has an huge impact on running performance in a long distance race. This was a great performance for a first timer, no doubt and KB is an incredible athlete.

[@neilshannon9930]

I've been waiting for a video of your race cause I haven't seen any of it. Can't believe the time you done with the rain and a pit-stop on the run. Great effort, all that work you've put in paid off. And good on you for sharing your time with the people at the finish even though you might have felt wrecked. You're a great athlete and a great bloke.

what a freak of nature.... Respect

Meanwhile I’m happy finishing a 70.3 in the 5 hour range. This is incredible!

Insane quality Video. So Happy for you and your team Kristian!

Amazingly inspiring and well produced content. Had the pleasure of you running past my in Bergen City Marathon, saw you afterwards but didn't dare to ask for a picture :) No doubt in my mind that you and your team will reach the goals you've set.

He smashes the current WR. Madness

[@charlotteh8174]

Not really. Time adjusted due to easier swim and perfect conditions puts him quite a way off the pace, but a bright future for sure.. maybe 2-3 years and he's close.

[@triathlonrun4407]

Hi Christian and congrats for your performances, I am following you on youtube from the island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean. I have a question: why are you using the metaspeed asics now rather than the Nike, do you have done some testings or is it your personal feeling ? Thank you for your answer

[@kristian.blummenfelt]

Because I found them to be the fastest shoe on the market. I used them unsponsored until I signed with them after Olympics and Grand Final

[@russianbot4374]

So amazing.. I was in that race … you beat me lol 😂… by almost 5 hours hahahaha

[@wiktoriakoput7996]

I am a triathlete from Poland, and I have a question. If I am in the elite group, then would there be a higher chance of me qualifying for the Junior World Championships in a few years or for the league of the best junior athletes that train for the Olympics ? There is this league in the United States that has the best triathletes in the country, which then are training for the Olympics. I saw you racing in the Daytona Challenge 2021, congratulations! Good luck for your races in 2022

[@laroche00brut]

Grym! Var häftigt att få följa på plats

[@barbus6305]

Александр Олав сказал, что их с Кристианом результаты достигнуты, благодаря поддержке семьи. Нет оснований не доверять высказываниям великих людей.

[@na-dk9vm]

Kristian,off topic but how fast could you run 3200m (2 miles full speed) thanks

[@pumpkinpie82]

Great race! I wish the swim was more legit.

[@petycamfilms417]

can someone tell me what the thing is called, which is on his left arm?

[@kristian.blummenfelt]

Supersapiens. For Blood sugar measuring

[@petycamfilms417]

@@kristian.blummenfelt Wow! Thank you very much. I'm really into monitoring perfomance and sport science, so it is very fascinating for me what you do. Thank you for sharing it. LETS GO FOR SUB 7!!!

[@TheLolgamer111]

Why do I think you could also run a sub 2 hour marathon?

[@Trainwithweaves]

Actually what convinced me that you’re doping is that you won Daytona only 2 weeks after this race. I don’t care who you are- you don’t go win a major triathlon 2 weeks after setting a WR in the Ironman.

[@1tzBattery]

Stupid comment

[@jamiefishpond1982]

8:19 C'mon man that was the worst doping defence I have ever seen. You really expect people to buy the bullshit that Norwegian athletes are just 'better' because of their training. There is a 'league' above the pros. Yeah right.

[@mamkin-trikatlet]

докажи обратное, друг

[@kitman530]

Doping isn't needed, if the course of the "world record" is waaaaay to short like here in Cozumel. Still a incredible performance, but no new era for sure. Not after one single race. Do 10 races with 2:35h marathon on a valid course and we will see

[@angellosmalefakis1321]

Such a SECONDARY event. I could see if it was in Frankfurt, Nice or Hawaii. Come on in Mexico. What competition you had? Who measured the course? It is NOT going to get any value from holding the record in a secondary course sadly. Nice run, but question the meaning in going for the record in such an event. YOU are NOT going to get many accolades as a result sadly.

[@MrJaycobsen]

The record set by Jan Frodeno wasn’t even a real race though.

[@gourami7]

@@MrJaycobsen yep agreed, at least it was a proper sanctioned event not a 2 man exhibition

[@achmadpetersen2726]

Such a stupid comment. He was racing the clock not the field. If he had some competition he could likely have gone faster. There was always going to be doubters, I mean who does a 7:21 at first attempt!? Appreciate greatness my friend.

[@bristr9576]

IM courses are so different it's hard to compare times. Cozumel is a comically fast swim (10 minutes) with the new course and the bike ride was 114 miles when I did it.
