The Day After HISTORY - Sam Laidlow on Breaking the World Record
About this episode
Sam Laidlow has just rewritten triathlon history.
Fresh off his record-breaking victory at DATEV Challenge Roth, the French triathlon superstar joins Jan Frodeno for an exclusive conversation on Going Mental.
Recorded less than 24 hours after becoming the fastest athlete ever over the full-distance triathlon, Sam opens up about the mindset behind his historic performance, the relentless pursuit of greatness, dealing with pressure, building an elite team, confidence, setbacks and why questioning conventional wisdom became his greatest competitive advantage.
With Challenge Roth once again at the center of the triathlon world, this conversation offers a rare look inside the mind of the athlete who has just delivered one of the greatest performances the sport has ever witnessed.
