Get ready to defend his Olympic title as Kristian Blummenfelt is all in focussing on the preparation with everything ahead of the schedule. His standout performance in the 2023 season has placed him as the PTO’s #1 ranked male athlete but the excitement continues to build as he gears up to race in Paris next year.
Without any PTO races or anything beyond the Olympic distance, the next eight months are critical for him. Blummenfelt has been pushing himself to the limit and says, “It’s been good to sort of get a shock to the system in Super League and WTCS in terms of the top-end speed, the technical courses and all of those small areas like transition and just being tactically aware in stressful situations.”
Looking back at his short-course performances in 2023, he talks about the room for improvement. As he gears up for Paris, he knows it’s about building himself and the Olympics will be the platform to improve his performance. The second qualifier in Hamburg gave a glimpse into what’s in store as Blummenfelt won the event. “So being able to do well both in super-short and just a few seconds off the pace in Super League and also being up there in long course, I feel that I’m sort of within reach. But I definitely need to do some work on the run between now and Paris,” Blummenfelt shared.
As Blummenfelt continues to focus on getting himself ready for Paris, the latest piece on TV 2’s website in Norway is showing encouraging signs for him. It’s exciting to watch Blummenfelt as he gears up for the upcoming Olympic games. Click below to Read More and follow his journey.
