British Olympic gold medalist Alex Yee pipped triathlon rival Hayden Wilde to first place AGAIN by surging ahead in the final 14 seconds of the pair's latest race. Yee, 26, claimed a dramatic victory in the Boston supertri on Sunday with another late dart on Wilde, with the New Zealand athlete left furious at the finish line. The Team GB star, who sensationally pipped Wilde to gold in Paris last month, even crossed the line with his arms folded, looking supremely confident.
Running towards the camera as the crowd celebrated, Yee nodded his head while looking down the lens. Behind him, Wilde cut a frustrated figure by gesturing with his arms and shaking his head. Social media became ablaze with reaction, with one user posting: "Who would have guessed Olympic gold medalist triathlete Alex Yee was cold as ice?" Another added: "Nah, this guy's a menace and I'm here for it.
" "See how a bit of arrogance makes a sport interesting?" A third said. "Because why am I now locked into triathlon beef?" The supertri is even more gruelling than the Olympic event, as it's three back-to-back triathlons (all in swim-bike-run order) with no breaks in between. It also has a brutal twist in that should an athlete fall more than 90 seconds behind the race leader at any point, they'll be eliminated.
Each stage consists of a 300m swim (one lap), a 4km cycle (four laps) and a 1.6km run (two laps). Yee, who won with a time of 49:02, and Wilde's rivalry dominated the race, with reigning champion Dorian .
