Sam Laidlow's Triathlon Life x HOKA TV

The Laidlows are a triathlon family and growing up Sam's parents hosted a camp for elite athletes in the south of France. Surrounded by a nurturing but competitive atmosphere, Sam wanted to rise to the top to get his parents' attention. That drive eventually brought him to the highest levels of the sport – and a second place finish at the IRONMAN World Championship in 2022.

PTO - Love him or hate him, you can't ignore him 🍿

“Sam Laidlow has become a controversial figure over the past year.
His rise was rapid, though born of years of dedication after competing in his first triathlon at the age of four.
For Sam, however, it's not just about winning races. He wants to leave a lasting legacy on the sport and the world by being himself. One thing is for sure, love it or hate it, you can't ignore it."
