Taylor Knibb - The Tell All Kona Collapse & T100 Contract Interview

The things we love most about Taylor Knibb is her honesty, her detailed & analytical story telling and her contagious energy. Today’s podcast has all of that in spades. Taylor goes through her 2025 year in detail we’ve not come close to hearing anywhere else. From a tough start to the year with burn out, stress and T100 contract negotiations to the crazy events that unfolded when she collapsed with 2km to go whilst in the lead of the Ironman World Championships in Kona, we go into it all. Taylor was as honest and open as you’ll likely ever hear her and all we can do is thank her for that because it made for a podcast that’s a bit different from your standard one. We hope you enjoy it.
