That’s a good point. I have to admit that I tuned in because of Lionel, I love his videos and was excited to see him battle with Jan, I probably wouldn’t have watched if it was just Jan going for a solo attempt. It was awesome seeing their power & heart rate data, I wish it would’ve been shown continuously instead of just at times
It was prime time in australia. And I I can tell you, I wouldn’t have watched if it was say Jan and any other male pro other than sanders and yoyoyo. Its not The actual event but the before and after that Lionel and yoyoyo provide.
Super interesting. I didn't watch it because of LS - to me, the outcome was clear, the only question was whether Jan would break the record and that was not intriguing enough for me. I might have watched it had it been a different athlete - Patrick Lange comes to mind (his swim and bike potential has massively improved and we all know how fast he can run).
Interesting. I follow Lionel, yoyoyo, Heather Jackson, Big Metz and several others on Youtube. Its great to watch at my convenience and really enjoyable following real people rather than made puppets some sponsors try to portray.
For the TriBattle I would have watched if it had been just Jan, or Lionel and probably some others. Certainly Lange even though he gets no love from the ST community. You can see the potential this kind of event has on regular Youtube followers. I followed Lionel through his Mount Lemon and hour record Youtube videos and enjoyed them a great deal. Watching Heather Jackson at CDA was really endering as you saw the real Heather. Yoyoyo (love that name!) crying after his swim session a few months ago gave a great insight into the goings on behind the big units public facade. Lots of other interesting moments on Youtube for me and reading between the lines good training tips as well.
Saying that Lionel doubled the viewing figures cannot be correct, but I bet putting it out on youtube did increase the numbers substantially.
He who understands the WHY, will understand the HOW.
