Also huge kudos and mention to @ArildTveiten this guy started everything we now see of Norwegian athletes.
To see what the guys and girls he developed have now achieved especially this year in Ironman is amazing.
He saw the long term vision. ๐
@stevemagness Particularly at elite level. Their school grades when compared to international are low. Sports like triathlon they cannot find seniors to enter their elite program. In my opinion itโs BECAUSE of the participation mentality. Not enough space here to elaborate.
@stevemagness Completely disagree with this. I am an Aussie living in Norway and my husband was Kristianโs coach for 10 years and is now the sports director of the Norwegian swimming federation. Besides exceptional talents in some sports, they struggle to keep kids in sport past high school.
The incredible story of @ElsVisserTri ๐ฑ
Shipwrecked, Els had to swim miles to shore to survive! She used this experience to push herself into triathlon.

@bbculp@Timheming Lol. 40+ other European athletes. Just like Kristian and Gustav and many other champions did at the beginning of their upward career trajectory
