THE SPORTSMAN

 

3.8 km of swimming, 180 km of cycling, 42.2 km of running .. all within one competition ... IRONMAN ... the longest distance in commercial triathlon.

 

Like no other sport triathlon stands for maximum performance and extremes. In this sport, the limits of what is achievable are constantly redefined.

 

Christian Troger became the first man with one leg who finished the IRONMAN Austria. He redefined the limits of what is achievable as well. This was the kick-off to a storybook sports career.

 

Meanwhile, Christian Troger is multiple World Champion and European Champion in triathlon and duathlon. He celebrated many other international successes and participated in numerous respected sport events. At his last IRONMAN in Florida in November 2015 he obtained the fastest bike split ever by a one-legged athlete in an IRONMAN.
