Chris Nikic has made history as the first person with Down syndrome to complete an Ironman. The Special Olympics athlete crossed the finish line in Florida on Saturday having completed the 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and 26.2-mile run in a time of 16 hours, 46 minutes and nine seconds. Nikic, 22, fell off his bike and was attacked by ants at a nutrition stop, the Special Olympics said in a release, but he pushed on to finish the race 💪(📸 Michael Reaves/Getty Images for IRONMAN). . . . #ironman #ironmanflorida #specialolympics #triathlon #triathlete
