Sam Laidlow has dreamt of becoming a world champion since the age of four when his triathlon journey began. He achieved that goal just 20 years later, winning emphatically at the Ironman World Championship in Nice in 2023.
We filmed with the French star and his family prior to his World Championship victory to understand what makes Laidlow special.
In this series, 'Uncharted' goes behind the scenes with the world's best triathletes in training as they prepare for the toughest, most competitive races in professional triathlon.

One of the most things I love of PTO's Hub it's the love for triathlon and because of wich they can talk of others like Ironman races without any problems. lovely!

indeed, you would never hear a single word during an ironman documentation or livestream about challenge or pto winners, as if the wouldn't exist at all

Very inspiring. You have all my respect first because you are setting high standards for people not only athletes. Second, I like and love the family spirit and that you are proud of it. Finally, you put in the work in silence. Good Luck Mr World Champ 👌🏼💪🏼

I love the fact that he calls out Ironman. It is so sad that in a sport as globally recognized as Triathlon that Ironman still de-values the professional athletes. There are only a handful of athletes that can make a living doing Ironman races and even then they are not living well without sponsorship money!!!!

@@marcuswills6569 So really you are actually this daft that you think drug testing, especially in Ironman works? I mean that’s cute, that’s nice, neither did Lance Armstrong, or anyone on the US postal team, neither did Barry Bonds, Marion Jones, the entire East German women’s swim team, Carl Lewis, and hundreds of others who we know cheated from grand jury testimony or later testing of samples with new techniques. Sam’s samples are saved. The truth will come out. I guess he really was just having to move house and miss out on the $100k PTO race right after Colin Chartier got popped. Duh. Even the most uneducated in this topic know drug tests mean extremely little and to follow more of the athletic trajectory of the athlete. So help me out. 1. List all the Ironman races Sam won before his stellar performance at Kona. 2. Then list all his Ironman wins before his world champs. 3. Then since that might be a lot, list put all his global 70.3 wins. 4. And since you will say he is too young to have amassed, you know, any wins at all, then point all all his junior championships and wins for me. By the way, that guy, Lionel Sanders who you say is a washed up loser KZfaqr who never makes prize money ? Yeah that, what can only be describe as an ignorant comment. That guy has won close to 40 Ironman 70.3 races, twice came 2nd at the Ironman WC, 1st at the ITU Long course world champs and was the world record holder for the Ironman world record time set at Ironman Arizona. And has won 4 or 5 full Ironman races. So yeah I’d take his athlete trajectory over blood doping, EPO juicing, microdosing feminine butterfly chest tattoo gut emptying druggie Sam any day.
