videos like this are so incredibly inspirational
No
He got pulled 0:54
A truly underatted "LEGEND" the only word that comes to my mind is "RESPECT"
He literally got pulled 0:54 :/
@@pojuh645 ok? He has down syndrome, so you always have to help, what if something can happen to him.
Just because he has Down syndrome I really don’t see how this is any different to a normal person doing an ironman
This guy is a f***ing hero and a living legend.
Hero? No. Legend? Yes.
@@knightnight2691 At least for other kids with Down Syndrome and other dissabilities (and there are A LOT in the world) yes, he is a hero.
@@knightnight2691 he is a hero he can give motivation
Dude he got pulled…. 0:54
@@Venton25 Hero save life ...
"People said I couldn't do anything, I said Hell No"
He's a warrior! I can't do 10% of what he did. Massive respect to him and any other sportsman 🎩
I could do this. Especially if I’d be pulled by someone else 0:54
@@pojuh645 you still need to swim in order to catch up
@@pojuh645 no matter what people achieve there’s always the negative ones like you who are there to put them down.
Well done to Chris. Well done to all the people who have helped support him and got him to achieve this. It truly shows anything is possible if you put your mind to it!
Amen
"I'm here for the ladies" My man knows what's up!
Hell yeah he does! And he looks awesome!
Yes sir!
Brings tears to my eyes when his coach hugged him….I LOVE seeing men support each other….
People with down syndrome are very affectionate, and supportive families learn to give lots of physical affection. And it's excellent.
Great stuff. Let's not forget a clap of hand for the "guide" man who was with him all the way through. The kid's awesome.
PS: If anyone has anything bad to say about this, the guy just ran an iron man, just think what he could do to you.
Absolutely incredible achievement for any individual.
I couldn't do a single one of those 3 tasks, let alone all 3.
However; I do think that the Guinness World Record needs to have a note beside it.
Something that says "aided" or something like that.
During the swimming and running he was tethered to the guide, so he was not entirely doing it with all of his own energy and effort.
They even note that the cycling portion was important, because it was the only portion that he did in fact complete totally on his own.
I think it's absolutely incredible what he accomplished.
However; it is important to note he did not complete the entirety on his own.
I'm not at all trying to take away from what he did or accomplished.
In fact I'm trying to support the future individual with down syndrome that completes an Iron Man without aid or being tethered.
For there accomplishment could be ignored or overlooked.
When it comes to world records; it is important to get all of the facts and details correct.
Well said friend, well said 👍😁
With the 2nd amendment a bullet doesn't care how many miles you've ran, biked, or run 😂
He literally got pulled. 0:54 it’s ridiculous…..
@@IrishBastardChild2 You think any of that made his time faster? If it's a time impairment, it's fine.
Put respeck on dude's name. Chris is not just a man. He is THE man.
HE GOT PULLED why doesn’t anyone see this? 0:54
Let’s also give credit to his coach. He did a Ironman whilst dragging Chris on a rope during the swim and run. That’s insane levels of fitness
This is beyond AMAZING! & truly inspirational! Thank you for reassuring me that when I tell my son he can do anything I mean ANYTHING!!!!! 💙💛
💗 to Chris, Dad, and all the guys who loved him so he could achieve this.
Well done to Chris and all involved. Awesome effort that shows what YOU can achieve with hard work.
His hugs are meaningful 👍🏼
that's SOOO awesome! way to go Chris
THIS CHANNEL SHOWS ME REAL HEROS🔥
He reminds me so much of my little brother (who also has Down-Syndrom).. he is very determined as well.. and that last scene 'cut, cuuuut' killed me, just like my brother 😂😂
Absolutely amazing, Chris!
So many trolls in the comments. This man is an inspiration to us all.
This is so inspirational
Chris is the man.
I feel infinity empathy for him.
Now I have seen an Avenger in real life.
I’m ex Infantry and struggled with a half marathon 😂
That explains why you're EX and not current then, that's a despicable cardio level for a soldier.
@@Paulstrickland01 That is not true at all lmao
Pog
@@johnfloyd1866 Haha definately wasnt 🤣
Ex infantry = ex janitor/ person who picks up garbage on the side of the road.
"Hell no!"
I love this guy! He's amazing!
What an inspiration. Now I wanna do something inspirational.
Write a book
Full respect!
Ok I think its time for me to workout Chris just gave me my motivation.
1:26 his father is so proud he has a hard time keeping a straight face 😅
Respect to Iron Chris 👍🏻
It’s so impressive. I have done a 70.3, so I know going double that is insane
What an inspiration well done
That's a very strong family right there!
I love his sense of humor.
Mad respect.
Absolutely amazing 🙏🏼🔥❤
This is the most inspiring thing I have ever seen
He got pulled by someone else. It’s lame…. 0:54
@@pojuh645 So what? I dont see you out there doing even a quarter of the distances he completed. So somewhere else with your hate.
@@zeerevs i actually finished a marathon myself once. why would you judge me? i did not upload a video of me getting pulled, pretending to have achieved something i didn't really do. you have no basis of knowledge to say sth like that about me. i'm commenting on the video with a stemp proof.
what does that have to do with hate? it's just realism. if you hate reality, go hate reality, i just say the truth. i can not change if you hate the truth. but it's not me being hateful if i point something out as fake and give a time mark you can go check it and answer on a objective level and say why you do not agree with my oppinion. i don't remember the content of the video. but that's all i would have to say.
@@pojuh645 He has down syndrome... Do you? If not, you have no argument.
so much respect for this guy
Props to him, a true beast
Chris is the absolute man 🙌🙌
GREAT JOB CHRIS you got the heart of a LION!! KEEPIN HIMSELF FOCUSED AND NOT STOPPING! PAT ON HIS BACK!!

Moral of the video:- Never give up
And have a genetic defect to make everything mundane you do seem amazing.
@@Paulstrickland01 Anyone who can run an ironman deserves respect. Even an abled person completing it isn't "mundane". I'd like to see you get close to what this man has done.
This guy is a legend

He's done more than I have
1 million likes for this guy the real ironman
this is amazing. but what is the leash for? i get it when they're swimming cuz of rip currents, etc. but why when they're running? just so that the lead knows if he's falling back or something?
I tought the same
Awesome 😎
Cool just cool
