A three-time Olympian. World Champion in triathlon and duathlon. Countless ITU World Cup and Ironman podium appearances. Great Britain's Tim Don was a legend even before the 2017 Ironman South American Championship in Florianopolis, Brazil. That race cemented Tim's place as a true triathlon great. But his greatest challenges were still to come. This is the story of The Man with the Halo.
Tim's Story
On May 28, 2017, Tim Don became the fastest Ironman triathlete of all time. The following October, he headed to the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii, as a favorite to top the podium. But he never started the race.
Just days before the event, Tim was hit by a truck while cycling. Scans revealed that he had broken his neck.
Almost immediately, Tim’s resolve to bounce back was clear. Whatever the final outcome, the story of Tim’s recovery was going to be one of bravery and determination in the face of adversity. To document Tim’s journey, On teamed up with Emmy-award-winning director Andrew Hinton. The result is the inspirational short documentary, The Man with the Halo.
