Mark did a great job at this interview. open questions, some structure but just let Lucy talk and then followed up with certain points. Would love to see GTN do some longer form backgrounds on other athletes in the future.
🙌
I agree, he just let her talk without interrupting. Best way to interview IMO.
Lucy is such a great model for young girl. She needs more public recocgnition.
Michel Sakakini yep great female role model, needs more publicity
Legend!
Lucy is focused and a great role model for life and respect ing your body and doing your very best in everyday life. I want to be the best I can be physically and mentally. Respect.
I would love to see more in-depth interviews from the pros like this. Hearing a full cohesive interview about their background is a lot more captivating and endearing, much better than hearing a multitude of different and sometimes unrelated questions.
I know it's hard to shoot something like this for so long and still have it seem fully seamless, but this is easily your best interview ever so it really pays off.
agreed
Lucy wishing you all the best for Kona, will be cheering you on the whole way. ❤️ from 🇨🇦
Great interview and good to see that LCB is so down to earth and self effacing given her uber stays in world of trip- seems a very genuine person. After a 9 year break I would credit the GCN Team and LCB with motivating me to do the Alpe D'Huez tri next year at age 61. Keep up the good work.
Loved this interview. Presented a realistic picture of what training to be an elite athlete, able to compete at the Olympic entails, the amount of monetary support, unable perhaps to keep a full time job. In the US she would have got a full swim scholarship to a great university. We lack that kind of sponsorship to really make something of our great young talent.
great interview! is great to hear such an accomplished triathlete sharing a bit about her story to help us regular folk realise how much dedication is needed to devote to the sport to achieve so much. breaking through mental barriers as well as the obvious physical ones.
Thank you guys for this Great Job and Interview! Really really nice! Go Lucy!
Above all else, this was just a really nice interview :-)
Good luck for Kona!
She’s such an inspiration, and definitely one of my fav pro triathletes, but no, she didn’t “do this in just 4 years”! For hobbyists like me who literally didn’t even know how to swim freestyle a few years ago and started as adults...I’d say her race prep started since she was a kid. Inspirational nonetheless, but please understand that not every athlete knew we wanted to be one since a very young age, and that should NOT make our hard work and achievements any less “impressive” or “incredible” or whatever the word should be... I only discovered my love for this sport since 21, and I’ve been building another career along the way as well. Every day I tell myself “I only started to swim when I was 21, but this shouldn’t be the reason I don’t dream to qualify for Kona”.
It's just really a different experience to train so much as an 8 year old. Especially in her case devoting so much
@@allisonscanlan4144 That's certainly true. She must have sacrificed a lot too :) I just meant to cheer us amateurs on who also love the sport but started late~
This was a great video with great content! Good work GTN!!!
Really love interviews like this to let us know more about how the top pro athletes started their journey in the sports . Really sad to see how most governments neglected the Ironman athletes . They only cares about Olympic because it gets the highest worldwide coverage and audience like the World Cup. Love it when she was asked whether she will try Olympic distance and she answered that her only target now is Kona Champion , that shows how determined she is , not allowing anything to distract her from eyeing the Kona Queen title. That’s the true spirit of Ironman athletes and she is so humble & down to earth. Can’t wait to see her and Daniella fight for the title in the upcoming Kona. All the best Lucy !
Love this kind of video.
GOOD JOB👍
Thanks!
great interview style, the music helps the mood, ty for putting it together!!!!
Lucy, you are one of my heroes! A true motivation for the sport.
Talented, beautiful and intelligent-- gotta love Lucy! Thanks for sharing this great insight on her. 😍
Great interview lucy. Im training for my first IM and im happy im not the only one who signed up by “fuck this, im doing this now” 🤣 enjoyed hearing your experiences!
Luckily, i had to learn the bike chain stuff during training last week 😇
Great interview - really inspiring - good luck for Kona Lucy!
Lucy always comes across so down to earth. Hoping she can CRUSH IT in Kona this year❗️❗️
Lucy is a lamb on the outside, but she would have the heart of a lion. You have to give her full marks for perseverance to get to that level.
Great interview Mark, ride safe everyone.
Awesome story! Great content guys 👍
Great video guys!
great great video. More of this type of video please! :)
Great video!
She's one of my triathlon inspirations. :)
Good interview, Well done Lucy at the weekend great to see you finally achieve that win.
My favourite athlete by a mile! So inspiring, really rooting for her at Kona, I think she can do it :)
Great interview, havnt seen Lucy interviewed before, will tune into more of her stuff.
Thanks for giving us this interview with one of the biggest stars in triathlon. Lucy you are a lovely sportswoman and person!
Mark is mirin' so hard from the very first second of this interview
Best eyebrows in the game
Great interview and wishing Ms Charles all the best in a few months t Kona :)
she's such an awesome rolemodel and person! great interview ;)
I love Lucy. Great content guys. And great interview Mark! :)
Cheers - glad you enjoyed it!
Great story! Good luck to you, Lucy!
Mark has a crush on Lucy and she is playing with it. Very pleasant interview with good content. Maybe the best athlete’s interview. Thanks,❤️ GTN !
Lucy you are a star! Whising you the best!!
Lucy is such an inspiration. Hope she nails Kona this year!
I am a huge Lucy Charles fan boy. She is adorable and one hell of an athlete.
Wow. From Olympics tryouts -> Zoo -> Triathlon, quite the journey.
Great content guys.
Keep them coming !!!!!
You forgot the marketing 😃
More of this please
Awesome interview with such talented person! Does anybody know what watch she is wearing in the interview?
Amazing story!
I really enjoy such a story of athletes about how and why get into ironman race. Every person has different drama.
loved it
Mark is cheesing so hard in this interview 😂 so cute
Serious crush on lucy 😂
Me too bro hahahahahaha
@@docberting Same here and probably in hundreds other mens and women :P haha
Seriously man...who doesn’t?!😂
Bit masculine to my eye.
Are you on about Mark on Lucy?
Amazing
more interview please🙏
Inspirational!
She reminds me of Jodie Swallow back in the day. Good to see the UK having such a strong Tri line-up.
Urban myth?? Was Jodie disqualified from an event when the her sponsors logo was deemed too large because it was given an extra bit of ‘Lycra stretch’ over her chest?
How can you not love her!? :D it is my dream to meet her someday.
Lucy is awesome!!
rewatching this. it's amazing how she talks in retrospect like it doesn't have much weight in it when it was all she worked for since 9. not like most people just riding the conveyor belt of society.
I know all to well how fast this girl is, she buzzed past me in Lanzarote like I was going backwards! she's incredibly strong
I wish Lucy that win at last in Kona! The problem I have personally is that I also finger cross for Daniela Ryf who is also super nice person. My problem is even more problematic because I also wish with all my heart for Rinny her fourth win this time as a mom :D This championship is so amazing to me that I really wishing well for so many competitors because triathlon is a special sport with a very special and nice personalities both in male and female fields.
Fingers crossed you smash this years kona Lucy, you are an inspiration
ang galing galing nyo po @Lucy Charles-Barclay!!!
She seem really nice and I wish her luck. She is young and she will probably win Kona soon.
Lucy, I am sara I am 15 turning 16 next month 3/15/05 I have been training for 4 months now to do my first triathlon i5s a sprint distance and I am a newbie to the sport but I fell in love with the unique sport in july of 2020 and ever sence then i have literally been riding my bike it's a small bg like but I'm getting a new one for my bday hopefully .Anyways I wanted to say this modivation u gave to me today was astonishing and I was like I would loved to have u as a trainer or even do a trianthlon with you but ik that will never happen .I've been told by everyone I mean everyone in my family that o sara your too weak .or that sport is alot 9f endurance and you dont have that,or don't get ur Hope's up ,but I wanna prove them wrong I understand we dont have money for any of the necessary equipment needed for a triathlon but I am going to save up for a trisuite and a road bike. Lucy this speech that you gave just boosted my confidence and my will power.One day I wanna have the Name Of An Ironman
When you take a closer look at the athletes backgrounds and how they evolve through the sport and how they started it helps the growth of triathlons as a sport in itself.
outstanding woman
What a nice lady, and from near where I used to live
Listened to this and felt sad that GB doesn’t support these promising athletes enough. Must train and commit 100% but can’t have a job - how many great talents does this deter? Great to hear she had the belief to succeed. Funding needs to improve in the UK and get closer to the US system.
In France we have Cassandre Beaugrand who helps a lot for spotting on this sport and for next generation. Lucie is a great talented woman, very impressed by her performances!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bella machine !!
Beautiful! ;)
Very inspiring story ! Do you think inline speed skating is compatible with long distance triathlon, both at competitive levels (not pro, of course) ?
Your overall fitness will transpose but remember they are all different sports on their own.
Quite a lot of pro cyclists did inline skating, especially the women
@@somersetfan1 Oh didn't know that! 😊
Do one whit Daniela ryf too..
😍
I really hope more companies sponsor Lucy as "Brand Lucy" is incredibly marketable! The Girl Next Door / Wonder Woman in Battle Braids definitely has appeal!
I love you, Lucy.
Same. That ass 🤩 🍑 ❤️
Somebody please tell her to try the mid foot cleat position that Daniela Ryf uses. It puts less strain and stress on the calves so they will be fresher for the run leg.
this aged well :-) congratulations Lucy
Hey interviewer
Advice on building thise calves
I've been doin calf raises and harmstring presses
Anything else
Wait, was that Lionel Sanders in the background?
I see lucy charcles; I clicked.
as long as it was just clicked and nothing else that's ok
A simple triathlet
From certain angles, I think she kind of looks like a blonde Kate Middleton.
I'm surprised she didn't do a stint at the aquarium!
Gosh I'd love to be her xxx
How was the random woman from the GTN team you have used as a model for the back of Lucy's head to show 'her' working in an office? :D
It must feel great to win
1:51 Is that a really, really old Garmin on the wrist of that person seated in the background of the shot?
7th comment wooo! Mark looks like he's in love her.
I know I am lol.
Is he a fan boy? He keeps smiling so much
Looking at the number of people commenting with tongues lolling at her, no wonder she keeps name dropping Reece so often to remind us shes is married. hahaha
I assume Reece never drinks. Always needing to stay sober to fight.
Uks swimming and triathlon committees really rejected her each time. And she proved them wrong.
She doesn't get the recognition she deserves
Who’s only seeing this for the first time now?
First ironman was basically her first triathlon and she did it 12 hours? WHA?!?!
I did my first Ironman as wales in 11:15 still my PB on that course 😂
@@georgekirkman8325 bad ass time! It took me over 15 hours. LOL
As a rare pinay trans triathlete she inspires me so much to be at my best on my tri life. 💕
Mark low key has a crush on her
0:04 that is Kate Middleton, isn't she?
Wait to till coach Greg sees this! But is she natural
I’d be ok with LCB being the next Bond girl!
She's pretty
mark's glass of water looks slanted
she looks so healthy.
Anyone who swims year round is crazy. It's a mind numbing sport. Still have nothing but respect for swimmers though.
