    Im crying with joy. I cannot begin to comprehend what his mind went through. And fair play to the team. 40 + hours to give him the support to finish. Truly amazing effort.

    Here because I've followed Stan since Project Africa - What an amazing feat. Perhaps one of the key differences between you finishing and the others not making it was your fantastic swimming coach - he did not take any bullshit and kept you on track!

    Incredible feat Mitch! Congratulations on a massive win 🎉 Watching this evoked way more emotions than I expected ... could literally feel you digging so deeply into the core of your being scouring for every morsel of energy to keep on going against that raging tide pushing you off course. No doubt the huge win from this experience will provide you with tremendous fortitude as you head towards Everest. Rooting for your success from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤

    What a coach! That man was exactly what you needed. Even though I knew you finished it, I was still swept up in the drama, what a fantastic video and great start to the adventure!! Brilliant editing as always, Stan.

    Fantastic video - brilliant swim and excellently produced. I happened to be on one of the other successful boats that made it across that day (3 out of 11 in the end). I was in a team of 3 doing a relay and that was plenty hard enough - what you did here was incredible. Congratulations.

    as an open water swimmer/water polo player who did a relay across the channel, i only swam 1/3rd of it, and what you did is incredible. I have no doubt that you will make it to the top of Mt Everest.

  • @mainlineto5988
    @mainlineto5988 21 день назад

    That ending was so emotional.
    I think it was the juxtaposition between Mitch's huge strength that he had to complete that challenge and the vulnerability he showed on the beach as his partner comforted him.
    Well done to mitch and also to all his support team and his loved ones.
