Zalaris Norseman Xtreme Triathlon is an expedition. Nadya is from Ukraine and her preparations for getting to the start line in Eidfjord were more than an expedition. Slava Ukraine!

The Norseman media team met the organizers of Formosa Xtreme Triathlon in Eidfjord, ahead of the Zalaris Norseman and XTRI World Championship 2022. If you are looking for a XTRI race that will make you cry at the finish line then listen to our chat with Joann and Rovi. Formosa Xtreme Triathlon also gives you 150 X-Points if you finish this race.

Helen Webster from the Norseman media team met Stuart McInnes, CEO of XTRI World Tour, in Eidfjord ahead of the Zalaris Norseman and XTRI World Championship 2022. XTRI World Tour consists of 16 different races with different sceneries and cultures. But there is one thing that ties them all together.

There is no athlete that comes to Norseman without already having a long journey of training and hard work behind them. When the media team sat down with 26-year-old Scottish athlete Eidilh Prise ahead of the 2022 race though, we knew we had found someone special. Instead of following a training plan she goes on ‘adventures’… Instead of a coach driving her, it’s her pure love of the mountains that spurs her on. Instead of putting on a steely race face, she draws energy from cheering and laughing along with her supporters. Of course, on race day, we saw just how magical this approach could be – but for now, it was our opportunity to chat how it felt to be a double-record-holder at Celtman – and just how excited she was about facing the mighty mountains here in Norway.

Mauricio Mendez is a 24-year-old professional triathlete from Mexico. Mauricio raced his first triathlon at age 10 with his father and they’ve been a fierce coach/athlete duo ever since. Together, they’ve won multiple XTERRAs and half Ironman titles, including Mauricio becoming the youngest XTERRA world champion at just 21 and in 2018, Mauricio won our sister race Patagonman. Mauricio has his sights set on winning the 2021 Norseman World Championship. Brimming with passion, determination and unwaverable focus to be a world-class athlete, we can see why our sponsor SUUNTO say he’s a force to be reckoned with.
