Jan Frodeno

Jan Frodeno has dominated the triathlon scene for years. With three victories at Ironman Hawaii and his gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games, the Cologne native is one of the stars of his sport. He holds the world record and is the only person so far to complete the Ironman distance of 3.8 kilometer swimming, 180.2-kilometer biking and 42.2 kilometer running in under seven and a half hours. In Germany, Frodeno has triggered a triathlon boom and, among other things, was voted Sportsman of the Year.
