IRONMAN provides a welcoming platform and environment for athletes of all abilities and together we are aligned in bringing awareness and support to athletes like Nick and Rio who personify the spirit of the sport. IRONMAN is sorry for Rio’s disappointment on race day and looks forward to showcasing his courage at future races.
IRONMAN are fans of Team AngelWolf and we all look forward to future opportunities when Nick and Rio can inspire, reach beyond perceived limits, and redefine society views. On Saturday March 27, 2021, Team AngelWolf will also be doing a virtual version of IRONMAN 70.3 Dubai.
Team AngelWolf will continue their inspirational journey adding to IRONMAN’s rich 40-plus year history of welcoming and celebrating inclusion that includes a number of Special Teams throughout the years beginning in the 1980’s with trailblazers Dick and Rick Hoyt.
Team AngelWolf and IRONMAN would like to thank everyone who have followed and supported Nick and Rio and look forward to the great impact that can be had together.”

Team Angel Wolf are known for accomplishing incredible milestones in the sporting community
Rio is one of the children and he’s currently 17 years old. Although he is a Person of Determination, that label has never stopped him from covering over 10,000 kms in over 380 races in the span of 7 years. While his disabilities create a hurdle, his family designed a specialised wheelchair for him so that he can participate in the races they do together.
