Rio Olympic triathlon *spoilers*

[smutchin]

From the leading group, who are the best runners?

On the evidence so far, I'd say the Brownlees.

ETA: I went to Hyde Park to watch the 2012 race and it was incredible the way Alastair especially opened the gap by a noticeable margin on every lap.

 

[smutchin]

Van Riel is pretty quick too... but not as quick as the Brownlees!

Schoeman is having a great race.

 

[Tin Pot]

I can't believe the pace they run at.

Please, please pace yourselves!

looking good for gold and silver

At the 2012 Olympics their 10k time would have placed them better than last in the 10k track final they are phenomenal

 

[Tin Pot]

Amazing performance.

... and it was incredible the way Alastair especially opened the gap by a noticeable margin on every lap.

And he's just shown his brother a clean pair of heels.

Impressive

The unbeatable Brownlee brothers

 

[Dayvo]

Double Olympic champion.

'Sir' Alistair Brownlee?

 

[Tin Pot]

Wow, a touch of emotion there. So pleased for them.

 

[Spiderweb]

Yorkshire grit ....Outstanding

 

[Stephenite]

They're a bit quicker in transition than I am! Six minutes I took to get out of my wetsuit and on with the cycling shoes last week.

Other than that they are much quicker at swimming, biking and running.

 

[Spiderweb]

Double Olympic champion.

'Sir' Alistair Brownlee?

How unfair would that be to knight one and not the other.

 

[Dayvo]

How unfair would that be to knight one and not the other.

But one has two gold medals, the other doesn't (one bronze and one silver): good but not an Olympic champion (yet).

 

[smutchin]

That was a phenomenal performance, total domination. Fantastic.
