## Caption

I realized while watching the ESPY’s, I never shared images from @ChrisNikic’s journey to be the first person with Down Syndrome to finish a Ironman. During his acceptance speech for the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance last night Chris said “It's easy to make excuses and quit. I don’t do excuses. I don’t quit.” • Panama City Beach, Florida • November 7, 2020 • 📸 for @GettyImages @GettySport @IronmanTri @chrisnikic #GettySport #DownSyndrome #ChrisNikic #Ironman #Triathlon #RunSwimBike #1percentbetter #CanonR5 #Canon @canonusa @photoshelter @thinktankphoto #Instagram #Sports #SportsPhotography #ESPYs #JimmyV @thevfoundation @specialolympics
