This week, we discuss the Norwegians training in Nice—what they're up to and what we can expect from them at the Ironman World Championships.

We then preview Ironman New Zealand, looking at the key contenders, including Joe Skipper, Mike Phillips, and Arnaud Guilloux. Who are the favourites, and how will the race play out in Taupō?

Finally, James interviews professional triathlete Daniel Bækkegård about the current state of the sport, his plans for 2025, and the recent news about Imogen Simmonds testing positive for PEDs.
