Episode 5 | Sam Laidlow | AN IRON WILL Season 1

When Sam Laidlow crossed the finish line of the 2022 VinFast IRONMAN World Championship triathlon in second place, it was a lifechanging moment. But ever since that day, Laidlow has felt the staggering pressure of his Kona® result, and faltered on the race course with injury and nutritional challenges. Still, there’s no denying that whenever Laidlow lines up on a start line, he is considered a strong race favorite. And with the 2023 VinFast IRONMAN World Championship men’s race taking place in the South of France where he grew up, Laidlow has a distinct edge. Hungry to prove he’s not a one-hit wonder, and with his aggressive style on-and-off the course, Laidlow is riveting to watch and one of the most dynamic personalities in endurance sport.
