Gustav is in Taiwan at the temple where his hat is from... His coach posted this video on IG... https://www.instagram.com/...igshid=1jwwtwo4qrxjo

It shows him giving a speech to a huge crowd and being escorted by bodyguards... I think he is a bigger hero in Taiwan than in Norway!😆

For those who don't know he found a random hat in Tokyo and wore it to victory in Nice and it turned out it was from this temple in Taiwan http://m.focustaiwan.tw/...oc/201909090006.aspx

He should have picked up a hat from North Korea. He could have had dinner with Kim, Jung Un!!

there is nothing about Gustav's winning story at worlds that is not awesome.

-Found a hat on the side of the road and wore it while he kicked everyones ass on the run
-Didnt have a tri bike so he just rode his roadie
-lost liquid nutrition on the bike so had to use on course
-forgot his nutrition on the run at transition

The parts of his story upon his victory at IM 70.3 Worlds are unbelievable! He's a great guy with a cool story. No wonder they love him in Taiwan.
