this athlete is breaking down barriers
 
 
 

We all face challenges. But it’s how we overcome them that shows us who we really are.

In his quest to become the first man with Down syndrome to complete an Ironman, Chris Nikic is not only making himself better every day, he is also helping his coach, Dan, hone his skills as well. Despite the cancelation of his first Half Ironman in May, Chris is training as hard as ever for his first full Ironman in November.

Meet Chris!
