Talking Triathlon

#82 - Will Sam Laidlow Race in 2025?


Listen Later

This week, we dive into the latest update on Sam Laidlow and ask the big question. Will he race again in 2025 given his current health struggles? With so much uncertainty around his condition, we explore what this could mean for the future of one of triathlon’s biggest names.

We also discuss long distance triathlon more broadly and whether it is even possible to make the format entertaining for broadcast. With ongoing challenges in viewer engagement, we ask what needs to change to bring the sport to a wider audience.

Beth Potter’s recent 10 kilometre run performance is on the agenda as well, along with a look at the Ironman Texas start lists. The women’s race is led by Kat Matthews, while the men’s field features Kristian Blummenfelt, Gustav Iden and Patrick Lange.
