- "This is Kristian's Ironman World Championship debut in Kona. People say you can't win here the first time, we are not here to only win but to break the course record."
"Kristian Blummenfelt: A New Era", is a behind-the-scenes look into the life of reigning IRONMAN champion and Olympic gold medalist Kristian Blummenfelt, as he prepares with personal coach and scientist, Olav Aleksander Bu, to push peak human performance at year's IRONMAN World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.

I've been watching Kristian for years in ITU and knew he was different right from the start. And what he has proven in race results in the last couple of years has been amazing - ITU Worlds, Olympic Gold, IM World Champ....! I wish I had Olav training me! Good luck tomorrow, Kristian. We will be watching!!
I love him ! Can't wait to see him perform
what a machine , really hoping he wins on Saturday, seems like a great guy !
Very impressive! A scientist coach plus 2 gifted triathletes made a magic together.
Love how the guy they didn’t hype up but was just there in the video won yesterday
well that guy still has the same coach, just not the same bike sponsor who made this video :D
Bu and Blu, the dynamic duo only rival but Blu and Iden.
Good luck team Norway and Kristian this weekend! Focus and have fun.
Dont get me wrong...i like him, but: Do you think he has "fun"...?
Really impressive video. This is what true professionalism looks like in triathlon
This team has break all records in the sport of triathlon and endurance sports.
errr it hasnt broken running or cycling records...
So interesting that Gus was always in his shadow, but now it is also his time to shine. Great Band of Brothers the Norwegians!
Kind of what I also thought - very interesting the focus of the persons. All three and their team behind are doing such a great job together.
Kristian got me serious about triathlons, I cant wait for tomorrow!
Vamos Kristian ! 💪🏽🧠👽
Good luck !!!!
Its all about vo2max i am glad finally a coach that works on this always.
Bu is a MAD scientist! Good Luck tomorrow.
we will see if he breaks kona or kona breaks him ...
11.48 the smile 🤣
Great video
Metabolic over power and speed , wooow.
Can’t wait to watch blu and Iden battle it out and Magnus as well
Now that's a statement. Wonder what the other pros watching this before Saturday are thinking?
Lionel has definitely watched this a few times and hasn’t talked since
10! 💪👊
GG!
Did he win?
That guy is a serious machine. Kona is not the birthplace of triathlon both Kristian and his coach are mistaken
Cant believe they did not fact check this!! OAHU was the birthplace of Ironman.
@@robfetty6497 They stated "birthplace of triathlon" which was Mission Bay San Diego but yes they didn't do much research on birthplace of Ironman either for a guy that eats sleeps live nothing but triathlon
what modesty !!!
before sleep video for me
"I don't believe in magical powers" hahaha
How dare they eat pizza with forks! Have they no shame!
arrogance 😥
100k hours is 23 years working out 84h every week - nice try 🤦♂️
Love Blu's confidence.
There is not a single superstitious/religious bone in my body. That said, Kona has been extraordinarily/surprisingly hard on athletes. The list of world champions (other distances) failing there is long. (External influences): the conditions, pressure-to-perform and race dynamics have made it a unique race. It seems from history that personal experience counts for much. If Blu (or any of the other "youngsters") smash race day, it will really mean "a new era"; the first since Mark & Dave days. All the other improvements can be linked with technology improvements. Now its about seeing if the human performance optimization is sizable enough as to see it clearly in the numbers. I hope for it, but I'm skeptical.
Well, I think it now is time you let go of your sceptisism...
@@TrommAdrian why? the record was broken by several other guys as well. It could just be the weather. If the weather was bad and the times slow, then we would not have this discussion. To take 12nin off - over 7:40 hours - which is a small margin - on a windless day - how to know if the performance is better?
Very proud of being Norwegian when this guy race! and the same name =)
Rooting for Kristian. He is simply the best. Win or loose. No fear.
So a superb dedicated person
Way to go
Excellent! But do not forget Gustav 👍🏼
Go Kristian 🇳🇴🇺🇸🌺
Great video
11:26 what swimming glasses is he using? or goggle in English? idk
Its a prototype, so he can see his pace and heart rate I think. So you cant buy it.
His body fat? He looks heavy
He has a large torso… which means large lungs and more power to push
@@nimbra2 yes he does. Maybe it is big boned is all, but he looks like he has a belly too. Not sure. I need to see w o shirt
Not sure if he has been injured. Let’s see what happens w an injury and how he responds.
V tough guy it seems.
Built like a bull not like a lean triathlete
Saturday! Race day! Good luck Kristian, all the best for Norway!
That was simply not enough pizza for three people.
Trust is everything! Bring on the race record!
My first time ever seeing a step-thru tri bike lol
Gustav didn't need this thing 😉
The good Ivan Drago !
thick dude can't imagine carrying all that weight around for that long......fun to see tomorrow!
I know! When I saw him for the very first time I said: he is like a little Tank.
FACT check issues. In addition to KONA not being the birthplace of Ironman - A glider is not the most aerodynamic thing made by man. Aerodynamics of a given object depends on the speed which it will be travelling. A glider me be most aero at one speed - but a fighter jet is more aero at a faster speed etc. FACTS are important!
Norway has a recent history of doping…..
His success in one year defies odds and he looks overweight
@@johnryan4152 Dad bod for the win! lol
@@johnryan4152 Kristians VO2 Max is higher with more body-fat/weight. VO2 Max is for the norwegien guys more important than for example Watts. The fat oxidation is also important for Long Distance Traithletes.
the coach needs to calm and tone down
People believed in LA too 😂
