Everyone seems to be talking about the 12m vs 20m draft zone but not many are asking the athletes themselves.

In this episode, Sam Long, Taylor Knibb, and Magnus Ditlev join Pro Tri News for an athlete-led conversation on draft distance, race dynamics, and how professional Ironman racing has evolved. No debate, no finger-pointing just the athletes explaining how they see it, why it matters, and what they hope the future looks like.
