Does Ironman Have A PR Problem? | GTN Show Ep. 461

This week on the GTN Show, we unpack the shocking sabotage at Ironman Hamburg, where metal tacks were maliciously scattered across the bike course causing mass punctures... We also discuss Jonny Brownlee's record 10 sprint triathlons in a single weekend at Supertri Blenheim Palace, and debate the recent controversy around Ironman's selective rule enforcement.
