Gomez just gave up with that glance backwards. Gomez races for silver.

Absolutely. I kept thinking younger bro was going to get him for over a year. Fantastic race with all the pressure, just amazing. Well done.

Dev, I'm watching on my PC in a cafe with no sound.

Chapeau to Gomez on the silver....beautifully executed gutsy race! Nice work by Haus to take 4th!

Are the Brownlees not liked?

So all you need for a gold is a 1:46 oly? zooooooooiiiiiiiiiiikes

29.07 for al brownlee for the run apparently.

Are you kidding....we love the Brownlees....I just wanted to see Gomez get redemption from the 4th at Beijing!

Brent and Kyle 25th and 27th.

With a 29:07 run, that's all...

Good god -- that 10K was almost sub-29. If AB wasn't celebrating down the stretch it would have been.

Hard not to love the way the Brownlees race. I wish the bike course was hillier so that we could see these boys go at it on the bike.

Awesome stuff.

They're loved in England!

so sub 29.... if he didnt slow down at the finish.

Not only that, Simon was barely relevant, regardless of how much Canadians wanted to believe otherwise.

On a separate note, as much as I am an SW fan, he looks pretty silly blasting people for not doing their job, when he couldn't do his own job today. I note this only as a cautionary tale for others who feel the need to take private issues public.




*edited for typos

29.07 and he walked the last 50m!

Alright time to go to work. DAMN. I sure hope that Triathlon Canada holds some bike handling skills for the next olympic cycle because that was a crash in the women's and men's race.

29:07 with a little stroll at the end.... Not even fair

I could not agree more with you. Just keep your mouth shut and get your job done.

I'm English!

It was more the sense that the forum were hoping for a Gomez win and congratulating a Gomez Silver.

amazing but not entirely unexpected result....AB looked so strong.

That's ok then :oD
Fantastic crowd turn out.
Pity JB had to take a penalty.....

Okay now that the geekfest is over with,bring on the rhythmic gymnastics!!!!

He crashed... it's not like he faded out. It happens.

He doesn't look silly at all, he said what needed to be said. And you sat there at your computer eating it up. You probably complain about athletes that only talk in cliches yet at the same time you blast Simon for telling it like it is. You can't have it both ways.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

Gomez knew he was running for silver.

Lance would have won.
Discuss.

Not the most exciting race but this reflects well on the preparation and consistency of the top performers - Brownlees and Gomez and some of the "old" guard - e.g., Frodeno, Docherty, etc. Given all that can go wrong in the lead up to the Games and on the day itself (ahem, Mr. Whitfield...) they all performed well on the day it counted.

Would France have won the team competition? 3 guys in top 10-15!
