At only 25 years of age Daniel Baekkegard has taken the long course triathlon world by storm. With a commanding win at Ironman Austria in 2019 he had marked his arrival as a contender on the world stage. "If the victory itself wasn't eye-catching enough, he then produced one of the celebrations of the season. Triathlete magazine dubbed it the 'Baekkegard Smash' and awarding it their 'Best Finish' of the year!" (professionaltriathletes.org) Listen in as Jack and Nick talk to Daniel about what he's been up to, some of his greatest moments in the sport and what exactly happened with his controversial DQ in Saint George.
