Alistair Brownlee on course for gold first British Triathlon Olympic Champion.

Alistair Brownlee became Great Britain’s first Olympic champion in triathlon with a brilliant performance in front of a huge crowd in Hyde Park while his brother Jonny picked up a bronze medal.

Britain had never even won a medal in the sport before but Alistair went into the race as the defending champion and hot favourite having dominated triathlon over the last four years.

He lived up to the billing and was able to slow down to collect a Union Jack and walk over the line with the flag draped around his shoulders.

Jonny Brownlee is bearing right now and heading for the penalty box. He stands still, takes a quick breather and waits for the clock to tick down 15 seconds before running off again, still in third place ahead of French duo David Hauss and Laurent Vidal.

Alistair Brownlee kicks ahead and Javier Gomez goes with him, but Jonny Brownlee is left behind. He’s six seconds back now and he hasn’t even served his time penalty yet.

This is thrilling, inspiring, all those things. Alistair Brownlee is on the home straight and Jonny Brownlee is doing all he can in a bid to catch Gomez
