Twin brothers Peder and Steen Mondrup were born three-months premature, but that didn’t stop them from doing something absolutely incredible together. Side-by-side, the two became triathletes. Even the wheelchair-bound Peder’s cerebral palsy hasn’t gotten in the way of their athletic aspirations. Together, the brothers competed in the KMD Ironman Copenhagen Challenge. As Team Tvilling (Team Twin, in English) the two finished one of the more difficult races the world has to offer. You’ve got to see how they were able to do it! Peder and Steen before the event begins. If they have any pre-race nerves, I certainly can't tell!  The race beings with a 3.8 KM swim. Steen pulls Peder along with him in a raft.  Looks like they're off to a great start.  Now that the swimming portion is through, Steen and Peder head towards the bikes.  Together, they ride a specially-made bicycle that can accommodate two riders.  That looks like one steep hill.  After the ride is the running. Steen pushes Peder in his wheelchair.  As you can see, it's a long race.  But that didn't stop them from finishing!  Time to celebrate a job well done, fellas!  No matter what obstacles you have in front of you... you can overcome them! Just use these amazing twins as an example. Share their incredible story with others by clicking "reply" to bump this thread.

Has anyone asked the guy who can't move or talk if he wanted to be strapped to an inflatable raft and dragged across the sea? What if he just wanted to sit on the couch and watch some blonde twin girls get Lizzie with each other on the Internet? No instead they strap him into a loving chair and run his rear end around for 2 days.

"As we have always said, Steen got the legs and Peder got the brains," the twins wrote on their website, according to the Daily Mirror. "So we are the perfect combination for an athlete with iron will.” On Sunday, the 34-year-old, who has cerebral palsy, became the first person with the disorder to complete an Ironman triathlon, the Local reported. He completed KMD Ironman Copenhagen after 15 hours, 32 minutes and 48 seconds with the help of his twin brother, Steen. "For the first time, I felt like the person I see myself as," Peder told The Local.

The athletic twin stole the others strength in a dark ritual in the womb. He has to drag him around everywhere in order to maintain the flow of power.

inspirational story and all but you gotta think it's weird for the both of them being (presumably) identical twins the healthy one sees what he'd be like as a disabled man the disabled one sees what he'd be like as a healthy man

Being hauled around like a sack of potatoes does NOT, by any sane standard, qualify as overcoming or achieving anything worth a crap. Completing an Ironman challenge while pushing/dragging a whole extra person in dead weight, on the other hand...

"So we are the perfect combination for an athlete with iron will.” also, that is a terrible loving thing to say. why does the healthy one have to be dumb to make the dead weight feel better? he obviously has iron will all on his own to do something that grueling with no assistance. like, why are they trying to make it seem like steen is a half-wit who couldnt have done it on his own?

The lesson is that if you are deficient, you must saddle someone else with the responsability of carrying you through the finishing line?
