I love the energy of that interview. Jan is really aggressive and looking forward to the race. Kristian is like the young guy admiring Jan and showing huge respect to him. This is a really a respectful rivalry to each other...
I love the heat Jan brings to this interview. I know people always expect him to be the calm and humble athlete but he has always been this way. There are a lot of athletes talking about how he got in their head (e.g. Lionel at the first Collins Cup) and when he knew he was fit, he would always tell you that he is not just winning but also breaking the record (e.g. Roth 2016). As long as he doesn't get beaten on what he thinks is his best shape (we all knew he wasn't in best shape for Ibiza), we will have to give him the benefit of the doubt. You can clearly see that Kristian and all the other athletes respect him and therefore take his statements as a serious threat. As for comparing Kristian to his daughter, I think that this is just peak banter and also entertaining for the interview. Let's see how this plays out but I think Jan always gives himself the best chances by starting the competition ahead of the actual race...
"You need the clouds to show how fast a plane can fly". A poet and a gentleman off the course: a machine while training and racing. Chapeau Jan - I'm so glad you got the win, and keeping my fingers tightly crossed for Nice.
❤❤❤❤ Jan still believed. 1st place 🥇. Kristian cried at the end and camera briefly caught the mental breakdown. Change the guard but keeping the crown 👑.
Blu is just so beautifully innocent Jan surprised me with what he said. Perhaps to drum up views? I was hoping for Jan to win. Now I’d rather he finishes the same way he did in Ibiza
Jan is in the winter of his career and you can hardly compare him to Kristian who is in his Spring/summer. Magnus is there, Max and others. Lets relax and enjoy these final competitions with those guys instead of comparing them. A podium for Jan would be huge with 42, not more not less. He is the GOAT. 👍🏼
It's great to see Jan and K.B. together again, having fun, but does nobody check the audio quality before these are uploaded ?.... at least we can hear 1 of the 3 people in the room.
Jan really knows how to patronise his opponents. I'd say he's putting it on as a tactic, but the more I hear him speak about other athletes and himself I come to believe that it's really how he feels about it all.
Right like that time the British athlete held him back from getting out of the water and he just went to town in the press interviews and then said - I might have had too many beers ;). Anyway Jan had game face on in this interview.
Yes, i agree telling his mind is his strength and it is very German. That is our culture. He is a realist and does not like beating around the bush. He was the one who changed the over showcase humble wining tone in the triathlon world from the start. And made clear statements he sees himslef as the one who is going for the win, when he was in shape. And on the reaction you can see that all what he said was true. Blu s mind games back fired. And i suggest thatBlues punching at the boye shows this was a clear hit and destroy. And he did stick it to a certain British brother. All well deserved.
Really didnt like the disrespect comment Jan made about Kristian, comparing him to his daughter. When did he cry wolf wolf? Jan didnt show up to race him or Gustav for years and years. Its the media that has created this debate about the rivalry. And i think Jan has handled losing a bit of the spotlight poorly. Its a certain bitterness under the surface that a great champion should avoid
You have a strange sight of the last decade 🤣 Jan always showed up but it was Covid to stop all guys from 2019. Are you really comparing a 42 yr old against the new generation? You must be an real expert in Triathlon 🤣
@@jonathan9506 listen to the video and you will see it. Are you serious? 🤷♂️ Gustav and Kristian raced for years taking many world titles and huge pto events without Jan showing up. This is a fact. Read start lists
@@jonathan9506 he was not injured three years. Why do people argue against facts they can look up 🤦 he did several races but he didn't show up when the best face off
As a German I have seen a lot of interviews with Jan. This day he seems quite aggressive, kinda stressed. Guess he is under a lot of pressure to perform. Not sure if that is the best situation for him. And it's a missed opportunity to have some fun chat with Kristian.
@@o11378 nee, dermaßen bitchy war er vielleicht in Richtung Patrick Lange, oder Alistar weil die vorher Sprüche geklopft haben. Überleg mal wie sein Umgang mit Sebi ist. Anspannung vor großen Rennen ist ja das eine, aber das da... Aber wer weiß was da gelaufen ist.
Wo ist er denn bitchy?😂😂 junge Junge, bisschen sensibel? Zu Patrick lange oder Brownlee war er nur in alleinigen Interviews angreifend. Hier sitzen sie nebeneinander und necken sich. Die beiden haben ein gutes Verhältnis und Jan hat ihm oft genug gesagt, wie großartig KBs Leistungen sind.
Compare this Jan to the Jan i saw at Roth earlier in the year, commentating and supporting EVERYONE and I think you can realise it's very scripted, two amazing athletes that behind the PTO curtain have the utmost respect for each other as well as their other competitors.
KB LS are going to make JF hurt on the run. I dont mean that struggle hurt but the intense pain of being just on the edge. Im just not convinced that Jan wants to do that anymore. or perhaps not with this race. I think Jan will race smart, stay within his boundaries and save it for Nice.
Wrong, he typically has the faster bike/run of all these athletes. Question for him is how close can he be in the swim and then will him and Blu (or Long) work together to get close on the bike. It will take a massive Magnus like effort to do it. Blu typically drafts the bike which is why is run is better. If he has to do the work then he won’t run faster than Lionel.
@sportivitythrills183 no way can lionel beat Blue on the run He will need a 10 minute head start off the bike and he won't get it and yes his main problem is his swim
Der @PTO Hub: The volume between in the interviews are almost every time very different. In this case Jan Frodeno is louder than the moderator, Christian Blumenfeld is in between. Especially with headphones it is very uncomfortable. The moderator is not loud enough meanwhile Frodeno is to loud.
PTO team you are aware that there is software to do post processing on both video and audio?? The only person with a decent mic was Jan. Can these interviews be a bit more professional in future?!?!
@@jimjamthebananaman1 I didn't say, that he is not great or something, he is an absolute machine. But Jan is not to be reduced to a massive ego only 🤷😄
Jan doesn’t seem very nice. Maybe his insecurities are coming out as he is losing his identity with the decline in his abilities and the ending of his career. Sad really. He seems stressed too. Blu seemed unaffected by his insults though, probably knows Jan is not one of his threats.
I presume you are very new to the sport. Jan is a legend and a gentleman. He’s just having some fun with the interview. Also I think he’ll have a very good crack at the win on Sunday so we’ll see about decline in abilities
Hate to break it to you. Blu was only in contention for Europe as he drafted Magnus for the entire bike. Jan knows Magnus is likely to come out of the water ahead of Blu who will have to draft (hopefully for him) someone else who will back further back in swim. Also the fast swimmers are going to go all out on the bike so there is little chance Blu will catch them on the run. The distance isn’t long enough.
🤣🤣😂🙂Maybe your flouery picture says it all (Peace). Always amused about the amateur psycholoigsts. You have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe new to this sport. Every one who knows Jan knows if he is making statements like this you better get ready for a real hot battle. Blu's mind games back fired. Jan did really stick it to him. Deserved. Well done.
A rematch is a competition between a WINNER and their defeated opponent. Neither of these two were winners in their previous meeting. Therefore it's not a rematch.
@@dbo4506 err...no. PTO is obviously using combat sports style promotion here, singling these two out as if it were a boxing match. Jan even begins by talking about "putting on boxing gloves". Besides, going by your definition every subsequent race since racing began would be a rerun.
Yes and no. The issue is with the PTO races the swim is longer then a 70.3 and the bike and run are shorter. So poor swimmers are even more neutralised. There’s also a very big pack of great swimmers in this field so with 8 or so out off the front, if they get a decent gap in the swim it’s going to be very hard to pull them back in
VITS - quicker swim bike run - quicker win. Tja nun, wer das nicht hat, kennt und richtig nutzt, hat eben einen Nachteil gegenüber jenem/jener der/die VITS nutzt. Und dann wird teils neu gemischt, und so geht es dann eben, hier und da. Ist ja noch längst nicht voll flächig in Einsatz, geht teils auch noch ohne, aber nach und nach werden es mehr. Lasst euch überraschen - oder vielleicht auch besser nicht 😎🤗 Wer das Gefühl zu gewinnen liebt .... sollte schauen dass das klappt, möglichst sicher klappt, soweit möglich.
Cant see Jan make a top 3. Field is stacked. I reckon only way for him is through experience. The Americans and Europeans have mostly raced seperately this year. This is the first global shake up. I reckon the race will be way more aggressive, and a few blow ups knocking out some contenders. Jan wont have the power to keep in the game, but if many blow up, he might just slip by for a 3rd at best.
Jan played along with the rivalry script and had some fun with it. Blu wasn’t willing to play along with that too much. And rightly so.
By that you mean Jan is the 🐐 right?
I love the energy of that interview. Jan is really aggressive and looking forward to the race. Kristian is like the young guy admiring Jan and showing huge respect to him. This is a really a respectful rivalry to each other...
I think Kristian was pandering to Jan a bit, the ol’ rope a dope tactic. I doubt K sees himself as the young guy sitting back admiring him.
2 of the greatest in our sport…. appreciate this moment! 👊🏻
KB showing generosity and respect in front of Jan and the end of his career … GREAT JAN , GREAT KRISTIAN & GREAT BATLE for the tri history
I love the heat Jan brings to this interview.

He’s always been chirpy so what’s new. He’s trolled Lionel many times. It’s just Jan being Jan and taking the piss.
It’s a South African thing (I know he’s German but predominantly grew up in South Africa).
Seriously you can’t handle a little banter? Get help.
@Kenji-xp4xxdidn’t aged well little boy :)
Jan might have just pushed Kristian into getting his first PTO win 😤 good luck to the 🐐 s

Frodeno won this race making this interview even better!
Its his last year racing he’s just having fun.
Jan seemed incredibly tense in that interview. Very uncharacteristic, but it speaks to what's "at stake" for him and how much he respects Kristian.
Microphone quality is terrible. Come on PTO, everything you do should exude excellence 👍🤞

And I’d like to see unicorns fly over rainbows
Let’s GO!!!!!! Jan for the win!!!!
PTO distances are better for strong swimmers
Blu is not that so a tougher race for him than other race distances
Yep. More swim time to get gapped and less bike and run time to make it back up.
alles Gute!
Let’s do itttttt🎉
