Do you know where we could find a replay of the race?

FTW! Does the lack of transparency over the Schoeman case bother anyone else? How was this swept under the rug so easily?

Bronze out of nowhere (not completely but somewhat), Abu Dhabi smack down, and now gold at commonwealth games with another dominant performance.

I'm in Canada, and it is available on http://www.dazn.com.

Eh I think fans just have to re-assess how you view them. AB is imo just stringing out his itu retirement pathway. I think he could make Tokyo, but individual race winning it? Eh, not with his goals/boredom of itu current pathway/dabbling at LC racing/simply an athlete who's been doing this for a LONG TIME. With JB I think he's done an outstanding job of taking advantage of having the best training partner in the world, and then hanging on like hell when he's needed to. And that's allowed him to win 2 medals because his training partner's top end ability is just so much better than everyone else's when it counts that *almost* being that good means your automatically better than almost everyone else. I mean when your brother is the best the sport has ever had, and then you kinda lose that person, I certainly think your own ability to push yourself suffers. And not that he doesn't suffer, but more kinda the "specificity" of out classing everyone on the run after already out classing the field on the swim AND bike. (eta: and that's not a knock on JB to say he's only good with AB...it's to say when the environment that allows him to become one of the best in the world changes, there likely to be differences down the road....again JB imo is top 5 itu athlete ever, regardless if he's only 2nd/3rd best during his generation of racing).

What you are seeing is simple athletics- the demands of competition have demanded that the field of athletes improve certain elements and they have.

Who would have thought that on a boring course like this, and with only a 20s lead, that the chase group doesnt even come close to catching the break. Now of course a lot of this is because the CWG is small in numbers that it can create much better racing...IE a front pack swim can stick....a break on the bike can stick if you push and want to stay away.

I think it's time for Jonny to suck it up and join one of these enclaves that train together and leave the big brother behind. If what somebody said above is true, and their long time coach retired, he needs to reboot and get into a competitive environment. I'm really shocked how badly he has unraveled these past two years. He's such a fierce competitor and one of the only ones who can push past his physical limits. I believe he's still got a championship year in him.

Nz team wearing run shoes on the bike. Best transitions by far

You might be right there, I still think there is a possibility the melt down in Mexico at the Grand final possibly left a scar on him that effected him.

He's still by a country mile the best Swim/Bike/Runner in ITU now his big bro and Gomez seem to have moved up, maybe its time he changed things up.

That won them the bronze medal today

These are absolutely great points.

JB still has the basic tools to win in Tokyo, but I think as things stand, he is going to be reliant on big brother to make that happen.

I think a lot depends on what AB does next. If he is truly done with ITU, then I think it might be worth retooling things for JB. Leeds is a fantastic base but it's definitely a group in transition. The question is where else can he get better training partners?

He should come up to Glasgow ;)
