- Alex Lee anchors team for GB’s seventh gold of Tokyo Games
- Jess Learmonth and Georgia Taylor-Brown complete quartet
- USA come home in silver as France finish with bronze
Finally, Johnny Brownlee can call himself an Olympic champion after so many near misses and hard luck stories. In a sweaty and entrancing race, Brownlee was part of the Team GB’s mixed sprint triathlon team that won gold here by 14 seconds, ahead of the United States and France.
Brownlee, who had won individual bronze in London 2012 and silver in Rio 2016, produced a brilliant second leg after taking over from Jessica Learmonth and established a gap that Georgia Taylor-Brown and Alex Yee never looked like relinquishing.
