  • Despite his rise to the top of the sport and almost unrivalled popularity, Lionel Sanders is still striving for that major victory that will lift him towards legendary status within triathlon folklore.
    The arrival of the PTO Tour in his home country provides him with an incredible opportunity. His ITU Long Distance World Championship was won on home soil back in 2017 and now he has the chance to take on the Norwegian superstars Kristian Blummenfelt and Gustav Iden, the top two ranked athletes in the world, in front of his home crowd in Edmonton.
    All PTO Tour races will be available to watch live exclusively on Eurosport, Discovery+ & GCN+ in Europe.

    Glad that Eurosport is promoting this amazing sport, with what PTO has been doing. Only a matter of time before these amazing athletes, Lionel, Jan, Gustav, etc will be recognized globally as they should be.

    Drug addiction seems a fitting background for a triathlete, it takes an addiction mindset to commit to such levels of engagement with training and planning, and has similar effects on social life, friends and family must also love the drug, sport. Its an emotional rollercoaster.

    I don't know who could beat the Norwegians as long as they stay healthy. And they are still under 30 so they have many years left.

      Alex Yee, Hayden Wilde at Sprint / Olympic.
      Van Riel, Ditlev, Frodo.. At long course.

    Lionel could dominate the sport even more with his power. Unfortunately, he is not particularly efficient in all three disciplines.
    No top athlete can afford unnecessary losses, so he rarely takes first places. Unfortunately, that's the way it is.
    I wish him that he finds the way to efficiency before age pulls the curve down too much.
    But - he has fun, all fine. 😁

      @@marcosiccardi7956 There is nothing implied here. I think it’s clearly stated. What makes Lionel truly unique is the media coverage of his triathlon career. It’s not his results nor his background story. Triathlon had other champions with similar backgrounds. Because of Lionel’s media success, some triathletes are also trying to emulate him, but he is years ahead of them. Lionel’s channel is likely the first triathlon reality show. Nothing wrong with it. Just not my thing.

    .........I don't think so. He thinks more like a wrestler than triathlete! He might have the potential and will but his way of thinking and the over training is making him slower. Years are going by and he can't understand the right way to train without getting hurt.

      That is correct. Eurosport functions as a broadcaster for PTO. So either if it is race footage or documentary they will show the same format. You just choose where to watch it.
