The pro press conference ahead of this weekend’s Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Marbella delivered plenty of insights from the sport’s top contenders. But while expectations and race strategies dominated most of the discussion, one athlete managed to steal the spotlight with humor instead: Gustav Iden.
Unlike the other pros – who showed up in T-shirts and shorts, well-prepared for the warm conditions – Iden took the stage wearing a full tracksuit. It didn’t take long before he admitted that might not have been the smartest choice.
“I’m regretting this choice of outfit myself now. I’m boiling on stage, but yeah, I just have a real passion for fashion. I’m suffering through it.”
