Makes me miss the amazing NBC productions in the IM World Champs from the 90's.

[@randahlliebelt8603]

This video alone makes me want to go ad free. Couldn't make it all the way through.

[@truckertrash1245]

I loved having them pass my house and cheering them on. All of them. It was an experience as a spectator. I can only imagine the drive and dedication in the competition.

[@tracyroth3458]

Thank you for your cheering. That made ALL the difference for us weary athletes!

[@fabioschubert]

As someone who’s run 2:33 for the marathon it’s mind blowing to me that blummenfelt can run close to that at his weight, let alone after cycling 112miles. Jeez.

[@bobdown5520]

I think he looks bigger then really is.

[@solodad001]

He's pretty short.

[@TheSmasher8000]

Nice job with that! Lets go next level on these documentaries for Kona this year! Can't wait

Bad day for premier on TH-cam

[@timblackwood9731]

Why?

[@nicolasuribeguerrero317]

@@timblackwood9731 because this weekend was the PTO Canadian open, let the sport grow and don’t try to get all the spotlight

Still IMWC

Why the hell is half of this video bloody ads, i just want to watch the triathlon

[@chrisstrider]

Inspirational and moving as always
YOU ARE AN IRONMAN

[@bellamy6648]

14:00 the triathlon starts

[@funparty722]

Ads both on AND in the video😅sooo you first have to look at two of TH-cams ads, then when you think you could watch the race NOPE another 1,5-2 min of ads😂and so it goes every five min🙈this could easy be a 30 min video if you just look att the actual content. Sorry, but this has gone down several levels compared to previous years.

[@Quepali]

I agree! One set of ads would have been enough...

[@naomib12]

Seriously it is ridiculous. I have never tried to watch a video with so many ads.

[@barbaralerner9753]

Congratulations athletes!! To those who finished, and those who had the guts to toe the start line!!! That needs to be said as Ironman is no easy task no matter the course, some more challenging than others, but the distances are still daunting, painful, and completely worth it!!! :) They need to move this back to Kona pronto, back to NBC, and let's consider hiring the former Champions back to cover like they did with the 30th anniversary!!! Come on, I know the brand sold, the metals and apparel are all generic now, but the quality coverage is also slacking, all for around double the price I paid for the 4 I completed when Ford was the sponsor!!!!! Let's make Ironman special again, not sound like a nature documentary where crocadiles are lurking in the amazon waiting to strike an unsuspecting zebra. The overkill drama of the narrator is WAAAAAY too much!!!! And what's with all the damn adds littered everywhere, then add the TH-cam adds and I nearly gave up watching. Sheesh!!!

[@harleydawes4264]

#177 Aanish! Congratulations Jonny!

[@brozesilver]

that's me bawwww!

[@AnylvlMulti-Sport]

A side from winning the men’s race Kristian Blu also called the podium prediction him in 1st Gustav 2nd Sanders 3rd
Crazy! Great race for everyone there that day!

[@chaseanderson996]

Pretty poorly done. You spent like 3 minutes on the overall age groupers and had probably 15 minutes of ads.

[@erikalee7967]

I want to watch this but the narrating styles is so drammmmaaaaa oriented. Just announce it, it's already an amazing sport. You don't need to make it sound like a hunting show.

[@chrisstrider]

There is a long tradition of this type of video since the 80s

[@julienheurtin9657]

S sa

[@samwell7640]

what kind of hunting shows are you watching

[@marcha9576]

I want to be an ironman

[@ChrisPieta]

Do it!

[@youflyeverynight2222]

Do it

[@marcha9576]

Thanks so much

[@MrShoji5150]

Me too.🏃

[@leslie7922]

Blu is scary man if he was chasing me down I'd shit myself

[@mjcbanders]

Baked in commercials AND TH-cam inserted ones too? Don't watch this unless you want to see ads literally every three minutes.

[@MrAlexomagic]

god forbid we ensure that the people behind these amazing productions get paid for their work

[@DonnyGoertz]

Let’s gooooo

[@chaseanderson996]

Where are we going?

[@barfy-man3628]

Ironmans social media team should be ashamed. What a joke.

[@redtrekgirl8883]

Looks easy.

[@irinixrisanthou170]

I wound find more inspiring and interesting age-groupers stories to pros !! I don't like this "battle" thing among pros and the fake smiles .....

[@ScottishJazzman]

Each to their own, but I’d definitely prefer to see the best fighting the best. Some inspirational age groupers in on the ballot for sure, but they won’t be blazing any athletic trails.

[@jfloyo11]

Heather looks like an optical illusion

[@JokerOfDutchfields]

The amount of ads is disgusting 🤮

[@barfy-man3628]

Ironman did a terrible job on this video.

[@Dave-md9pj]

:)

[@ronnedal]

I've been watching these documentaries for many years and it's getting increasingly worse for every year. Sad to see.

[@tangarz5357]

7:49 on that course is actually stupid.
