Outstanding athlete. Humble and just a legend!

At this point, it isn't a question anymore if he is the GOAT, it is a question if anyone will ever be better

incredible that he was enjoying the view, then falls, then pops the shoulder back in, then owns 60 miles for the win!

Kilian = GOAT

I feel like Ann Trason needs to be thrown around in the GOAT conversation more than she is. She was also an incredibly dominate figure in ultra running. I think I could argue that she *was* more dominant than Killian is. Simply another perspective.

@@lewistaylor2858 I understand your perspective. And there is no doubt that Killian is an amazing athlete. My argument (and I understand that it's just an argument), Is that Ann Trason dominated the woman's field at Western States for over 15 years. She has won the superbowl of ultrarunning for well over a decade, racking up winds and Leadville and being in influential figure in the Born to Run world. Like Killian, she is a dominant figure. Unlike Killian, who's Matterhorn, Mount Blanc and Everest records will be broken, nobody will every break Ann Trason's amount of Western State victories. She was doing things in the 90's that few women, with all of the technology and upgrades of today, can get close to replicating. Again, Killian is an amazing figure and I have a tremendous amount of respect for him. And I, in no way am demeaning his monumental accomplishments, of which there are many. The point I am making is GOAT includes some pretty amazing athletes; and that Ann Trason should be included in that conversation.

Lewis Taylor meh...

This was one of my favorite interviews yet. He is just so into talking with Megan. Such a nice guy! Cannot wait until UTMB!

jornet one of my all-time favorites because of his personality. Jornet, Jurek...deep down seem like good dudes.

dude is this the best interview ever? having just a chill conversation... both knowing they are human beings alive... just gratefull to be there, just trying to know more... so cool interview...

The UTMB is gonna be epic with all these great runners in the line.

Once in a lifetime doesn't apply to Kilian Jornet. It's once EVER in human history.

So, he falls, tumbles down, dislocates shoulder, damn!! Da Man!! Congrats Kilian!

such a nice guy

I was wondering, just the other day, if the Bob Graham round was on his radar. But the current record won't be easily beat. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Excellent interview.

" better to have this on a race than on mountain " that is the kind of thinking that sets kj apart of many athlete : mountain mindset at its best !

Legend

"eehhh, I'm not a morning person"

megan is too greta with these interviews , just love it and oooo he laughter is too beautiful.

As the title of his book said 'Run or Die'....bit extreme maybe but he certainly doesn't mess about!

good questions great interview

The running itself!

What has that done psychologically to the rest of the field at UTMB? And until recently Chamonix was his home so he will pretty much be running in his back yard. Good luck to the rest of the field. You're going to need it!

Bravo Kilian et respect pour avoir fini le bras en écharpe

As long as legs running arms, head and rest of not important parts are not a big deal.

He'll be fine. The recovery time for a dislocated shoulder isn't that long and depends on what kind of pain a person can go through. That obviously isnt an issue for Killian.

I don't think Walmsley gives up. He just goes out as fast as possible since he wants course records. If he actually went out slower, used clever, thoughtful race strategy, surrounded himself with a more reliable support team, he would win more races. For example, he was going for the course record earlier at WSER even though the snow made that virtually impossible. For example, it this video, Killian Jornet discloses that he let Caroline Chaverot go out ahead of him at Hardrock because it was too fast for him at that moment. Let's see what Walmsley does at UTMB. If he lets the rabbits get away early it might be a sign he is going for the win vs. course record.
