When Hellriegel secured the Ironman world title he was kitted out with some murky crown and king style kit. To hail the new-fangled king of Kona Hellriegel presented Kienle with some awkward burden.

Earlier that evening, a young triathlete is awaiting the most legendary member of his club!

Cheerio - If this win isn’t a cause to party! Kienle salutes with former league rival Stefan Hildenbrand of TSG Reutlingen.

It was Kienle day. Juvenile supporters are joyful with their Sebi Rocks Trucker hats and Hawaii style necklaces.

The bar was fitted with old-school pics and drinks.

Hermann Utz, chairman of the club and long time backer kick-started the festivities.

Nina, Luisa and Xaver - the Kienle household amused the crowds

Sebastians parents watched their son as he had fun with the youth team.

This could have been Sebastians look at Thomas Hellriegel a couple of years ago.

Johannes Utz and Tibor Kretschmann share one of many jokes as they look back to past training and party days.

They used to train together and they used to share an apartment. Saturday they met again and joint the stage and stories.

Sebastian’s Fanclub was prepared to party.

As former training and racing mate Thomas Freudenmann appreciated one of several beers, Sebastian worked on one of countless autographs.

Free Drinks rock – Sebi rocks as well.

And this bloke rode a 4:20:46?

These kicks only fit one guy!

Former heroes pay tribute. Holger Lorenz and wife Carmen came along to congratulate.

Home is where the World Champ is!
