The Norwegian Powerhouse is back.
Jon is probably best known as the multi-time winner of the diabolically difficult Norseman triathlon. But his path to becoming one of Norway’s top distance triathlon talents is a circuitous one. From 2014 to 2022, Breivold was a professional cyclist, a sprinter with Norwegian domestic squads taking on teams in Spain, Taiwan and beyond, with several national championships appearances.
While Norseman victories put the Breivold name on the map, Jon has been making a name for himself in 2025, with a big victory at the famed Alpe d'Huez Triathlon, and a long-awaited debut at the IRONMAN World Championships in Nice, France, where he claimed a Top 10 fastest bike split along all pros.
What to Watch for in 2026
His first qualification for the IRONMAN World Championships truly gave him an insatiable taste to compete on the world stage. While the debut in Nice was, well, nice, the chance to compete for a world title in Kona—the true icon—is truly a magnet.
But it's a chance to win at IRONMAN Lanzarote this year—regarded as one of the most mountainous on the IRONMAN circuit—that really serves as his driving force. "I feel I've got unfinished business there, and I'm highly motivated," he says.
