Kristian Blummenfelt — triathlete
Multiple triathlon world champion and Olympic gold medalist, Kristian Blummenfelt has been a driving force in a new era of the sport’s longer distances. By evolving the volume and specifics of training and fueling — including a unique capacity for taking on exceptionally high concentrations of carbohydrates during intense training and racing — the Norwegian’s performances at the highest level have helped the sport to break new ground.
"If I could turn the clock back and give some advice to the younger version of myself, I think I would have said, try to find a way to be serious with the training and professional with the work, but also having fun with what I'm doing. Because in another day it's going to take decades to get to the top and it's important to find that balance between enjoying the training and getting the work done.” — Kristian Blummenfelt.
