The shorter the race format, the more a weak swimmer is exposed. It’s truly insane Lionel stays in the mix with these short distance specialists. Incredible!!
But this probably the key to him being a better long distance racer. All of the consistent greats the past decade have come from short course.....and that isn't a fluke.
@Trepidati0n that's typical endurance sport progression. Going down in distance and leaving long distance isn't. Also, if the glory and money were the same in short course, many would never leave until they lose their speed to the point that their body makes them move up in distance. That's something that's terribly common in track and field.
He's just a beast. It must take so much courage knowing you have all this media around you, and knowing you are not going to win, but still get out there and be humble about racing.
Awesome effort - best biker, top level runner (in the mix) but oh the swim. For a world class long distance Triathlete to do that it a world class field of short course sprinters was super impressive.💪👍🏻
Never saw LS do a swim shakeout until this video. But here, on deck, he is snapping his triceps against his lats, making that pop sound, like a cocky summer league champ. Phelps cross flapping his arms across his torso on the blocks! Lol
Man, if Lionel Sanders could improve his swim by even a little, he would basically be the Mike Tyson of this sport. Dude is a beast on the run and bike.
Best duathlete in the world right here =) .. You did amazing it was good entertainment and I would for sure love to see you play with this again if it fits in and dont mess up any real goals =)
I think it looks like Lionel swims with his upper body/head way to high in the water compared to everyone else. I'm not a swimmer but can anyone else comment on that? Could that be a reason why he is so slow in the water?
LS is an incredible “dual athlete” thats for sure. why he can’t just fix his swim with all his resources? he did swim 1min/100m pace in his swim sessions though
I mean they pushed his presence a lot, I am sure this kind of event benefits from having an athlete with big media following in it. Plus it's not like they handed him a medal or anything, he still has to go through the finals. I see your point but hey the event needs Lionel too
@@aj8580 not intended to be negative, just saying it as I see it. If you are a casual viewer that was strange. The camera is only focusing on the slowest swimmer. And no one even said who won...
@@prof_Pomari you are probably right, but that was the stranges camera focus in any race ever. The guy so slow you cant see any of the other swimmers leave to pool. I do not intended to be negative, but it was just not what I expected.

I’d love to be as bad at swimming as Lionel is.
@@W.C. "isnt good" is relative. The guy came in 8th at the olympics.

Hahahaha! Ladies winner said “not sure if everyone is here for us or Lionel”. Thanks for sharing the experience!!!
everyone asking and talking about lionel, Dixon’s entire interview was talking about Lionel 💀😂😂
lionels sub 3min/km sprint is probably still 140bpm heart rate
That was epic! I should not have watched this right before going to sleep. Now I just want to get on the trainer and sweat
Lionel will transcend his training, undoubtedly.👌LFG
Undoubtedly
Everyone: Lionel Sanders
Tim Don: Lionel Saunders
Pure Entertainment! I love this ❤. Lionel Way to go!🎉
You are an absolute legend mate! Watching you compete is always exciting. I will watch what ever sport you do!
Amazing. Shows how versatile Lionel is.
“I think we could see vomit” my new favorite line! “I hope we do!” Second
Probably one of the best races to watch , never would have thought but always making your fans proud , thanks Lionel and keep going !!!
Awesome effort - best biker, top level runner (in the mix) but oh the swim. For a world class long distance Triathlete to do that it a world class field of short course sprinters was super impressive.💪👍🏻
They need a jumbo tron that shows where everyone is.
This guy has power and no fear for a competition where he can not win 😮😊❤
This is man is just.......... whatever you wanna call it.... incredible.
Watched the finals live and I was up from my seat the whole time Lionel.
Impressive Lionel. Didn't´t thought that he could keep up with the specialists. Great!!
Awesome Lionel!!! You are THE MAN!
Well done.
Amazing! Inspirational! You killed it!
He might not be the Best swimmer, but Lionel is the toughest athlete in the sport undoubtedly 🦁
Never saw LS do a swim shakeout until this video. But here, on deck, he is snapping his triceps against his lats, making that pop sound, like a cocky summer league champ. Phelps cross flapping his arms across his torso on the blocks! Lol
Legend! So proud of you Lionel!
Absolute and utter inspiration
That's friggin awesome man 💪😎✌️
Amazing work!
Is anyone else racing? I'm just enjoying the Sanders show. Media are fixated on him. Legend.
Yess! Well done Lionel!
Way to go, Lionel.
Man, if Lionel Sanders could improve his swim by even a little, he would basically be the Mike Tyson of this sport. Dude is a beast on the run and bike.
Thats impressive! What a beast
Wow. This guy is a real beast.
Colonel Sanders 👍
Absolutely smashed that bike and run course!!!
You're an absolute monster!!
Lionel! Haven't seen you in a while! I hope you're putting your all into it!
How the heck did you manage to film this? I would have thought broadcast would prevent you, so glad you could though.
They only broadcast the finals so they did not care at all. :)
@@TalbotCoxMedia ahhhh does that mean we have to pay to watch? Coz ain't nobody got time fo dat.
@@TalbotCoxMedia oh wow no they have the stream on YT wooo!
@@aarondcmedia9585they have the full finals on their CZcams
@@TalbotCoxMedia yeah buddy just finished watching it. Dang Lionel monopolised coverage by the looks, and raced like a champ. Great to see !
You are so inspiring
Best duathlete in the world right here =) .. You did amazing it was good entertainment and I would for sure love to see you play with this again if it fits in and dont mess up any real goals =)
Loved this
So awesome!
How good is that. So awesome, congrats L
This is amazing racing
Sanders...could be the greatest duathlete of all time?
Insane!
My Woooooord!!!
LS laying a beat down on that Equipment
Pure Respect
Brilliant
If only the finals was 4 stages he could have been on the podium
Amazing
Beast brotha!
BOOM!
What treadmills r they using?
💥
✌🏻
What’s Lionel’s swim pace?
Fuck yeah Lionel big effort
Machine 💪
🎉🎉🎉
Watching the swim is so nerve-wracking eesh.
I think it looks like Lionel swims with his upper body/head way to high in the water compared to everyone else. I'm not a swimmer but can anyone else comment on that? Could that be a reason why he is so slow in the water?
Let's Geaux
Theses guys in the live chat talking like you are handy capped ha ha ha take swimming lessens they say . like dude just watch and shut your trap.
Thank you for commentating like real people. Hopefully Ironman catches on.
Yeah, wasn't that fun for a change.
Ironman's issue is pricing for entry fees and the cost of traveling to events, not how it's covered on CZcams.
Isnt that judge w the curly hair the same airline attendant on Reno 911?
"Stop calling him Colonel."
LS is an incredible “dual athlete” thats for sure. why he can’t just fix his swim with all his resources? he did swim 1min/100m pace in his swim sessions though
🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
I don’t know about you but I would be doing breathing exercise to get as much oxygen into my muscles prior to jumping in the water
That’s not the problem, more so the acute accumulation of carbon dioxide and lactic acid.
I feel nauseous just watching this
What brand of shoe is Lionel running in these days?
Asics
Duuuuuuude !!!!!!!!!
The shoulda coulda woulda: imagine if lionel grew up a swimmer??
Almost looks natural
Why the hell does Lionels trainers not have the tag at the back to help him get them on faster? Such a bad design.
Jeez the commentators are so annoying 🙄
Move along, nothing to see here....
Why so negative? Just be happy. Life is short
I mean they pushed his presence a lot, I am sure this kind of event benefits from having an athlete with big media following in it. Plus it's not like they handed him a medal or anything, he still has to go through the finals.
I see your point but hey the event needs Lionel too
Olimpic medalist? I think Henri Schoeman is there also… and the show is important for the sport, Lionel knows how to entertain 👍
