THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME | Jan Frodeno 🐐 

I met Jan in Sacramento before IM CA got cancelled when he was doing a test ride the day before. It's nerve racking going up to someone so large in the sport; he is the Tom Brady or Michael Jordan of the sport. He probably didn't want to talk with "another fan" and the concern was he would blow me off when I went to say hi. But he was incredibly nice and allowed me to get a photo with him. That says alot about a person. I don't know him, but I'll never forget that moment and I am so thankful for it. Watching this makes me appreciate him even more. He sure seems like a solid human being. Thank you!

"you can't cheat your way through it. you get a lot of return for what you put in. but you have to put it in. and that is something that keeps you very honest"

Wow - I have never heard a triathlete talking exactly what I feel about triathlon and why I do it. 3 years ago he inspired me to start this journey. THE GOAT!

Jan is nothing but class. Such an incredible athlete but also an amazing role model too. What a guy to have in triathlon!

Sport is making a bizarre turn in my life ,never thought I’d be running marathons under 4 hrs when 60 yrs ,,well 5 yrs to go ,I love my training,very consistent,,,use watt bike tri athlete trains me ,,this is a very relevant video

This guy never skipped leg day, he made every day leg day.

I hope he continues racing at the top level for years to come. Everyone loves watching him race and put the pressure on in the back half of the bike leg. He's been unchallenged for years, and now there are potential challengers coming through, I'd love to see the battle.

A good guy.

Jan carries the crown so well in every aspect, triathlon has been lucky having such a talented, gracious and intelligent champion with the best physique in the business!

WoW Jan What s lesson of life, awesome !!!!!

What a guy, THE GOAT Jan Frodeno 💪🙂

Very well spoken and almost poetic in a sense. Gotta love Jan! #GOAT

I hope PTO creates a Masters category so we can keep following around - have the PROs be able to retire to Masters or something - so people like TO, Jan, and others who are probably only a few years away from retirement have an option to "age" with the sport, the way AGers do. They would obviously be continuing to compete at a pretty high level, and would be so fun to continue to follow them/be inspired.

I met Jan in Kona in 2018. Such a solid nice guy. Truly a great athlete but also a great person

What a year ahead, showdown is coming. You have to admire Jan, wish him well.

When I started in 2013 Jan was an up and coming guy in the 70.3 scene. He caught my attention and looked up his past achievements to my surprise he’s an olympic gold medalist from there on I know he was bound to be great in Triathlon. As what he said his greatest achievement to this day is being in the top level for so long, wish for a few years more to see him in the spotlight.

No doubt, everyone who wants to be the next worldchampion, has to beat this guy. Even if team Norway is coming, his motivation is still higher as high. So, Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats, lean back and make yourself ready to watch some other great battles!

another masterpiece of videography - but damn, those legs!

Fucking cracking short doc. Well done 👍 Jan, you are brilliant. Great listen.

Simply the best. Wisdom gained through life and experience. Real inspiration!

Nice little video, thanks. Best of luck for the race!

Such a humble winner.... You can't help but love him 💪💪

There are not many people in sport that have that special ora around themselves, it requires more than performance, it requires intelligence and humbleness , and he has plenty of both.

And THAT is perspective. A true PRO in a sport where very few have the physical ability to achieve the highest level AND articulate effectively the nuances of endurance and the sources of inspiration.

Its obvious this man is in love with the sport of triathlon..The dedication commitment, high standard, respect and high expectation for the sport is also obvious. Yan walks the walk and talks the talk. Nice that Yan is aware that it takes a village 🙂 I wish Yan well and continued success.

True to the status, best doc so far from PTO.

"twice as much doesnt mean twice as good"

So much inspiration! Triathlon is freedom indeed!!! Excellent!!!!!

Jan Frodenno, eres lo máximo, gracias a ti me animé hacer triatlón. Siempre serás para mí el mejor triatleta del mundo. Saludos desde Ecuador

Exactly the Video I needed.

Great video!

Beautiful production! Jan is absolutely the Goat. This will be the video when I need some motivation on a rough day.

Inspiring !

What a great vid. Inspiring to hear and most of all keeping balance and appreciating the wider importance of life in general despite being an absolute monster in his sport

I have made a race video of Jan Frodeno. Whenever I feel tired to go out for an exercise, I watch that video 🙂

Jans Greatest achievement is still Olympic Gold when he got that win he had never won an ITU race, there were other faster guys in the run particularly like Gomes and he took it down. Jan demolished them with a very long sprint. He never beat those guys again at that distance. The ITU stuff was just becoming too fast. He revolutuonised the ironman by bringing that speed Tim Don was also a bit there but maybe too light for thr bike watts needed. If he takes down Iden and Blumenfeld at full iron Jan is just from another planet

amazing insight into a fabulous athlete. I would love to see him competing at 50. Step down and continue to inspire in the age groups

He is the greatest hands down 🙌

Conceive, believe, achieve.

Whatever it takes! Jan has nothing to prove any more. And even if 2022 is probably the year of change (Kristian, Gustav, Sam, Lionel, .…), then he will remain the GOAT! 👍🏼

He is in Triathlon the same legend like Muhammad Ali and Michael Schumacher in Boxing and Formula 1 , hope I can see my Idol in Mai in Girona in his Café on my Route to holidays to Barcelona and Valencia

Makes me want to become a triathlete

Geschätzter Jan, Ich wünsche dir Liebe und Frieden. Gottes Segen auf deinem weiteren Lebensweg. Liebe Grüsse...

7:07 - Was that some L. Sanders shade thrown?

what about dave scott and mark allen??!!

Frodeno and Brady are ageless it seems.

What kinda patch is he wearing?

😃👊🙏🇧🇷

How many times has Jan won Kona? And where does that rank? Goat lol riiiight.

Goat for not so long, Kristian is coming

Thinking about that incident involving the truck I am thinking about a quote being made by Jan Frodeno himself earlier during this video: "pressure is a privilege." In my opinion the same goes for being trolled and insulted in many today´s cases. Many people are dissatisfied with themself and the life they are living. But instead of changing themself, their approach to life, their behavior and therefore their life, they blame and hate others for living a better life, the life that they want to have. Of course that is a destructive and self-damaging way of thinking, but that´s the reason why these guys are so hateful and are unable to grow. The reason why they prefer targeting well known, successful and life enjoying people like Frodeno is because these people are the characters that these guys want to become, but fail to do so.... "being trolled is a privilege".

Was this recorded before Tokio and before Cozumel. 😂😂😂

Jan must be top 3 of all time, but GOAT? Mark Allen has something to say about that. Jan got screwed out of two Kona opportunities, but let’s see him win at least one more before settling this.

He's not in the same league as Mark Allen, ridiculous calling him the GOAT. Also at Short course he was about a minute slower than the Brownlees and Gomez.

How about Mark Allen as the greatest? Or how do you even compare these two, not very easy...

It was important to make this now before the Norwegians completely rewrite the record books 😆

Blummenfelt is now the GOAT and he hasn't even won Kona yet. He is faster already than Frodo has ever been at all distances.

I love how the younger generations want to talk about the greatest of all time and to be very honest as impressive as this documentary is and this athlete...until he wins 6 Hawaii Ironman Championships in a row, Mark Allen, the grip still the greatest. Back in those days, there was no technology like there is now, heart rate monitors were very few if any. I remember the triathlete from Finland, Paoli Kiuri, I believe who was one of the first ones to wear a polar heart rate monitor. Now all that stuff is so advanced. Yes, these guys are faster, but they have better equipment, better technology, better nutrition and better money. So, when you get this idiots making a documentary about this guy or this guy been the greatest of all time....please, until he wins 6 Hawaii Ironman World Championships, no way, and any of you young wiper snappers can talk all you want but Allen won with bicycles that were not aerodynamic like they are now and a few pounds heavier. When he goes out and wins 5 like Dave Scott did he is just a guy who has won and has benefited from his predecessors and he is great but the greatest...please stop making sensationalist and overhype claims for a guy who has not accomplished the required numbers...PERIOD.

No disrespect from me but I can´t believe people really consider Jan to be the GOAT, he is a great guy and a great triathlete but he is no better than Mark or Dave. People has to remember what this two great men did for the sport. There is no bigger winner that Mark, no one has won more big races than The Grip himself, not just Konas but Nice, and everywhere else. He didn´t win the Olimpics simply because triathlon wasn´t yet an olimpic sport.

Frodeno is Michael Jordan in the tiathlon

How? How could you workout the greatest in all of time if all that time has not come to an end?!! Some time ago there was a guy who won the world champs at Olympic distance, and won 6 ironman titles and during those iron wins dropped back to standard distance throughout the year and handed the current world champ, whoever he was, his 'you know what'. Right up to his retirement. Faster times depend on course and weather conditions. Seems conceited to me. A joke.

Jan Frodeno, is without a doubt, an absolutely phenomenal athlete, but G.O.A.T....? Most certainly not! The saying, in the land of the blind, the one eyed is king applies here. Jan's 'G.O.A.T. status will soon come crumbling down like Jack & Jill rolling down the hill, when the WTCS stars enter the fray. PTO most certainly has the numbers and the cash, but competition in the WTCS circuit is on a significantly higher level.

Sorry but no way is he the GOAT. Yes the best for the past few years but GOAT no way

Goat? By what metric? WC wins? Far from it.. smh
