Glad that Eurosport is promoting this amazing sport, with what PTO has been doing. Only a matter of time before these amazing athletes, Lionel, Jan, Gustav, etc will be recognized globally as they should be.
@@tblightningbolt8902when boxing gets more popular, Tyson gets more popular. You don’t have to be in your prime or even still competing to be recognised.
Lionel I just want to thank you as a athlete approaching 70 years old finding it harder to run as fast as I used to I struggle with positioning in my swim technique and as far as my cycling goes I'm not going to get up the hill any faster but I will tell you this that because of your inspiration and motivation I will never ever never ever give up I will cross that finish line if I have to crawl you don't know me and I don't know you but we both know one thing death before dishonor
Drug addiction seems a fitting background for a triathlete, it takes an addiction mindset to commit to such levels of engagement with training and planning, and has similar effects on social life, friends and family must also love the drug, sport. Its an emotional rollercoaster.
Lionel could dominate the sport even more with his power. Unfortunately, he is not particularly efficient in all three disciplines. No top athlete can afford unnecessary losses, so he rarely takes first places. Unfortunately, that's the way it is. I wish him that he finds the way to efficiency before age pulls the curve down too much. But - he has fun, all fine. 😁
Could be one of thee at the top. Unfortunately he does something jto be maybe between 4 and 10. But he has fun and he is Happy, so everything seems to be fine. Good luck ...
@@marcosiccardi7956 There is nothing implied here. I think it’s clearly stated. What makes Lionel truly unique is the media coverage of his triathlon career. It’s not his results nor his background story. Triathlon had other champions with similar backgrounds. Because of Lionel’s media success, some triathletes are also trying to emulate him, but he is years ahead of them. Lionel’s channel is likely the first triathlon reality show. Nothing wrong with it. Just not my thing.
@@fritsgerms3565 ok, sorry but I'm not a native speaker and some sentences get over my head. Anyway, I think I can agree with you regarding the media coverage but for me it works. Cheers
.........I don't think so. He thinks more like a wrestler than triathlete! He might have the potential and will but his way of thinking and the over training is making him slower. Years are going by and he can't understand the right way to train without getting hurt.
That is correct. Eurosport functions as a broadcaster for PTO. So either if it is race footage or documentary they will show the same format. You just choose where to watch it.

Next generation maybe. These guys will be cooked by then. So hard to keep at the top in Ironman

Crying on the turbo and probably still pushing more watts than I have in lifetime 😂
Awesome guy !!! Simple as that !
Looking forward to seeing your Kona performance this year, sure it will be good
MR NO LIMITS!
I don't know who could beat the Norwegians as long as they stay healthy. And they are still under 30 so they have many years left.
Which distance?
Alex Yee, Hayden Wilde at Sprint / Olympic.
Van Riel, Ditlev, Frodo.. At long course.

Got the most marketing going. Have a personal media agent that created a sport reality show.
I don't understand what you are implying, could you explain a little more?

This video is just stolen from the PTO
Which was ‘stolen’ from Lionel’s youtube channel
@@AGC07 hey work together... Eurosport is covering the race. highly likely they talked about it
They’re all working together
The more coverage, the better for Triathlon, the better for PTO, the better for everybody!

Lionel is probably better at marketing than he is at triathlon. 😄
hahaha true😁
whoever made this just got this straight from his youtube channel everything here is not new information , there was no point in making this
