Faris on the others

From the ironmanlive interview (which is quite good):

On Macca and Smith:

“There’s so many other guys, especially the English-speaking triathletes like Chris McCormack and Spencer Smith, they always come up (saying), ‘I know Mark Allen won six times. I’ll win seven.’ Those guys have to prove they can win the race. I’ve done it. If I never, ever win again, it’s still more than they’ve achieved.”

On Stadler and Cam:

“Normann is like a diva. If he has his day, nothing can stop him. He can be incredible. But he has to have his day. He’s nobody like Cam Brown, who is solid as a rock, who’s always there no matter what happens. If it rains, there’s heat, wind, Cam Brown is there. With Normann, it’s something different. If something happens, he puts his head in his chest and he’s melting down.”

Lest anyone think he was disrespecting Stadler, Al-Sultan went on to say, “But on the bike, he’s incredible.”
