you start drinking early ...

i guess for the females you are very right there is no question the uk is world leading. at the top and in depth.
for males a nation that will not even get 3 males to the olympics and zero podiums in at 70.3 or ironman for quite a while. you are drowing in dinghy
alex yee the only real world class male triathlete the uk has. i dont think the uk has performed that poorly for many many years iam inclined to think it could be 2007 but even than there was still tim don will clark in ttu so i guess it might be even longer. but i cant honestly think when was the last time the uk had only one top world class athlete it might have even been before you imported australiens and south africans, such as lessing, jones ,cave ,dilon etc etc

Current Ironman World Champion, and Alex Yee on his day is the best Oly distance athlete (easily favourite for the Paris Gold) Current Silver Medalist.

With a supporting cast of the Brownlee brothers and Joe Skipper.

I'd put them all against any country's five best men right now!

Should’ve stayed with athletic brewing…

UK is for me on the same top level as France and Germany. They’ve clearly got the podium, I just can’t decide the order.

- UK having the spectrum in long, mid and short, but no real depth.

- Germany having Lange, Haug and Philipp in long, all 70.3 WC men podium but no real short distance threats.

- France has strong LD men (SL + 3 others in IM WC top10), and super strong and deep short course pack (men and women), but no real mid distance guns.

After the podium we probably have USA.
