In the next episode of TriathlonLIVE’s exclusive series commentator Trevor Harris catches up with Jonny Brownlee (GBR), where he reflects on his performances in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, both Individual and Mixed Relay results. He shares that after seeing his results, earning the fastest run and bike splits in the Mixed Relay, he decided that it wouldn’t be his last Olympic Games and he wants to aim to be competitive in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Brownlee speaks about the recent season, dealing with injury, missing out on the opportunity of racing at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games but the feeling of being back to racing with control and purpose before winning silver in the 2022 World Triathlon Championship Series Cagliari and gold in the 2022 World Triathlon Cup Arzachena.
Jonny Brownlee speaks about the new generation of talent coming through featuring the likes of Alex Yee from the British Triathlon Team and Hayden Wilde who is born to race and how exciting and fierce the battles are to be a part of and watch.
The British Olympic medallist recounts on fond memories of racing Spain’s Javier Gomez over the years of his career.
“He was always going to be there in the swim, always going to be there in the bike and always going to be there on the run and I really enjoyed those battles and now it’s the same again.
