Following the Ironman World Champs podium clean sweep by The Norwegian’s (Casper Stornes, Gustav Iden & Kristian Blummenfelt) we talk to Arild Tveiten, the man who started it all, built it all and without whom non of it would have happened. However there have been several tough times in the process, including Kristian & Gustav choosing to leave Arild’s program, money getting in the way of what they’d built together, Olav Aleksander Bu’s role in the program, Casper and Kristian/Gustav not training together for a couple of years before ultimately coming back together in 2025 and the group once again finding their way to the top of the world. This podcast is the first in a long time that we’ve done which isn’t just an interview; rather, it tells a story. And that story is a long, interesting, successful and at times difficult one.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
