#22 - My reaction to PTO - T100 Miami

Matt Butler
About this episode

In this solo podcast episode, I shares my thoughts and feedback on the PTO T100 Miami event. I emphasises that while he appreciates the PTO's efforts to improve triathlon, there is still a long way to go to achieve mainstream success. Matt discusses the need for better broadcast quality, engaging commentary, transparency in athletes' training, and the use of data to enhance the viewing experience. He also suggests improvements in the crowd atmosphere and preparation for night races. Overall, Matt believes that implementing these changes can make a significant difference in the future of triathlon.

Takeaways

  • Improving broadcast quality and engaging commentary is crucial for triathlon to become mainstream.
  • Transparency in athletes' training and performance data can make the sport more relatable and engaging for viewers.
  • Utilising data, such as power output and speed, can enhance the viewing experience and provide more insights into athletes' performances.
  • Commentators should receive training and practice to improve their skills and deliver a polished and engaging commentary.
  • Creating a vibrant crowd atmosphere and conducting tests for night races can enhance the overall experience for both athletes and viewers.
