STRENGTH. ENDURANCE. PERFORMANCE.

One of the strengths of the build-up to the inaugural Collins Cup was the feature programming produced by the Professional Triathletes Organisation – notably its ‘Beyond Human’ documentary series.

A month after the event took place, there is good news for the organisation as the series has been shortlisted for Sports Documentary Of The Year (Series) at the Broadcast Sport Awards.

From Lionel Sanders apparently crying through the pain barrier on a stationary bike to the brutal honesty and rye wit of Sebastian Kienle, we got some terrific content as PTO endeavoured to tell the back stories to the stars of the game.

‘Beyond Human’ will face incredibly stiff competition as it bids to be announced as winner at the awards ceremony at a Park Lane hotel in London on November 3.
