- From writing history at the Ironman World Championships to considering life without triathlon, Gustav finds purpose and peace with the challenges that life has thrown his way.
We sat down with Gustav as he shared the harsh reality of the past 24 months, and the light at the end of the tunnel leading up to his return to competition.
Thank you to Gustav's partners Surpas, Giant and Plasmaide for their support in helping to make this possible.

I'm literally crying watching this video. All the best for you Gustav. You are an amazing athlete/person. Your mother is very proud watching you from high above.
There's few people you wish more success than Gustav.
I wept like a baby. I am greatful to call you a friend gustav! SO proud of you man!
Jesus.. As if I needed any more reasons to love and idolize this guy
Dear Gustav, my wife passed with cancer after 5 and half years and it has inspired me to live a different purpose I know you will be back even stronger in all ways. Thank you for this video and wish you well in Kona. I hope to reach Kona in 2 years.
Triathlon is so much better with Norwegian train. All the best Mr. Iden.
My wife died of cancer last year, so a lot of the moods caprured by you and the photographer resonated....beautifully told.....your heart shows in everyhing you do
Shedding tears watching this. All so beautifully said Gustav and filled with so much love and passion. Congratulations on a beautiful home, it is sure to be filled with peace and joy. ❤️🙌🏻
I'm an 8 time sprint triathlon and duathlon champion here in Florida. Our mom's died 2 months apart. Same circumstances. It sucks. It's a serious gut punch. I miss her badly like you miss yours. It is difficult finding that wind in the sails again. There is still that pain that will always be there, but as time goes by, it will get better. Just hold on, stay busy and remember that the sunshine shines on our mom's through us now. Best to you Gustav.
God bless you Gustav! You are a true inspiration to continue my triathlon path. I am a few years older but I hope one day we can be on the same race together! It doesn’t matter if I finish last! Cheers!!
My heart goes out to you and your family. I’m so sorry to learn of the passing of your Mom. I’m sure she is watching over you and beaming with pride. Keep moving forward. Warmest regards. - Bill
Gustav's values are just awesome
Gustav if you are reading this, I hope you will make a crazy comeback and be the best in your category again and this will make your mother proud 🙌🏼🙌🏼
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 such a nice guy!!!! You will be much stronger soon …… All the best in life!
Dear Gustav, thank you for being vulnerable with us and sharing the pain you have been through. I lost my father a couple of months ago and like you I wish I could have continued to share my life with him here. I am an amateur age grouper and I'm grateful that my Dad spectated my first IRONMAN a couple of years ago. You're an inspiration to all of us Gustav for your titles but also for the person you are. Take care my friend.
wow, made my cry and think of my grandmother who passed away 7 years ago. one of my most fond memories is her watching me race my first olympic distance. just for fun, but she was there at the sideline. already sick of cancer, and died a year later. This week I started training again for a half distance in august. thanks for being so honest and pure gustav. I just came to realize again why I do it and who motivates me the most. Hope you'll be back on top soon and very sorry for your loss.
Rooting for you Gustav…. Both on and off the course ❤
I started triathlon at 40 in the middle of depression because of you Gustav. It's not about winning in Kona, but winning in life and you put me in the best way to do that. Keep going champ, we all need your victories and your smiles.
I bloody love Gustav. Such a great guy and deserves to be back at the top.
Pray for your success Gustav. Love from India 🇮🇳
😢 I feel you...❤
