Mad respect to this man. I can't run 2 miles straight let alone a marathon along with more than 2 miles of swimming an over 100 miles biking. That's insane.
When Chris started training for triathlons, he could barely run a mile straight, could barely swim a lap in a pool, and had a hard time riding a bike at all. It’s absolutely incredible how much he progressed to be able to complete an Ironman. What an inspiration!
You could run two miles if you tried harder.
@@crabbypadty393 That's true, I never thought of that. Thanks for the motivation!
That he accomplished his dreams and made it possible for anybody to make their dream come true
Wow, inspiring one. Props to his dad & coach
I'm not crying, you're crying 😭
No you’re crying 😭
No your both crying😭😭😭
Oh I’m crying.
Ohh my good, this history is so emotional, Cris is a inspiration to every one
I have a brother with down syndrome and I'm the luckiest big brother. He makes my life full of love and happiness
Just watched this live and was crying on my couch. This is amazing and Chris is an inspiration to not only others with Down Syndrome, but to every person on this planet.
Cmon Rocko! You can do anything! The whole world believes in you💙
I seen him last year I was happy for him he did all he could
His parents must be tremendously proud - so inspiring!
Proud of you Chris. You have a amazing dad my friend and some good ppl pulling for you. God bless you buddy
This man is more than a Ironman. What he has accomplished is truly remarkable. Don't give up, don't ever give up. Those words from jimmy v have inspired so many and will continue too. This man's journey will do the same. I cried watching this. So many emotions. Everyone no matter what can accomplish anything if they believe, never quit and ignore all the negatively
A king in the making I am happy and blessed to see
I bawled like a baby through this whole video
Absolutely amazing. So inspiring and such a privilege to watch
Congratulations, Chris!

very good, Thang you.
That is a cool and awesome
🐐
Wow! Everyone uses the word 'inspiration'. Because that's what Chris is. His picture should be in the dictionary next to that word. Too bad only 19,000 plus people (at this posting) have seen this vid. We could all use a hero. I applaud you, Chris Nikic!
Dedication. 👏 👏 👏
How can one even downvote this?
Great choice for the award .as far as the coach that said no to this guy. Look at him now
I’m DOWN with this video.
Early Gang where you at?
Shut up
7th comment
Calling him "baby" is weird
Seems legit.
He's his dad, baby.
what about the kids whos parents are not well off enough financially to have a team help their kid or be on espn? Think they could achieve a big goal like this what a joke
That’s not the message at all. Like how could you even bring finances into this? This video is about pushing past what you think is possible; that barriers can be broken and obstacles can be overcome. This has nothing to do with money or support, this is about having a dream and not letting anyone or anything get in the way. Grow up and stop commenting trash like this on truly inspiring stuff. You’re the only joke here buddy
