I was fortunate to witness Ihor compete and be the 1st finisher at the 2024 HURT 100 race. As he passed through the aid station I volunteered at, he always displayed great health, strength, spirit, and gratitude. Just an amazing and inspiring athlete! Congratulations on your Barkley Achievement!!!
I'm so impressed by ultra runners, really. After such a superhuman effort, they are like ok, I just trained and did it:) Thank you for being such an inspiration 💛
Amazing man and great interview! "Ultras are not even healthy" is almost certainly correct: Sweden have had an excellent national health service for many decades, and they also have an annual 90 km xc race (Vasaloppet) with 10-25K participants every year. Over a 15-year period they tracked every single Swedish citizen who finished the race at least once, then followed them for an additional 10 years. It turns out that training enough to complete such an ultra reduced the death risk, from almost all causes (including cancer, so not just the obvious cardio-vascular benefits), by about 50%! Training for an ultra is the healthiest thing you can do. Actually running the race however is much worse, since on that particular day the death risk was 3X the national reference value.
Congrats, amazing achievement in the world or trail/ultra-maraphone running! 👏 You are one of the few the best in the world! Keep inspiring us! Thanks for the interview...
Awesome! Ihor is an excellent representative of Canada and Ukraine. He's also so humble and down to earth! Great interview

That intro music is really quite terrible

As Emily would say "amazing". Congratulations Ihor 👊🏻
Congratulations Ihor. Proud to have you as a fellow Canadian, best of luck to what comes next, will be cheering you on.
Прекрасне інтервʼю. Захоплює гордість, що Ігор мій СИН. Люблю, ціную.
He has a left a great legacy in Manitoba too!!
He sounds like a lovely bloke, well deserved win!
LMAO that intro music sounds like a trash can falling down the stairs at a rave after you've ruptured your eardrums 😅
Amazing!
New 🐐
Inspiring, I have no doubt Ukraine will be successful in their fight if they can produce athletes of your caliber.
Вітаю,Ігор,з чудовим результатом.Цікаво було би послухати про твої тренування українською мовою.
Tremendous
