World Triathlon Series: GB's Alex Yee wins after Alistair Brownlee is disqualified in Leeds
Double Olympic champion Alistair Brownlee was disqualified as Britain's Alex Yee won the men's race in the World Triathlon Series event in Leeds.It was 23-year-old Yee's first World Series win, with Jonny Brownlee finishing in ninth.The disqualification would seem to end Alistair Brownlee's hopes of being named in Britain's squad for the Tokyo Olympics, with the 33-year-old recently having struggled with an ankle injury.
"I was pretty sure that would be my last World Series race. I have struggled in the last three or four months with injury, I needed a miracle today, I have done everything I can and I needed some luck but I didn't get it." "It was better than Yokohama but still not great for me. I didn't feel at my best but fair play to Yee, it was incredible and I am sure it will be the first win of many."In the women's race on the same course, Kingma edged out Learmonth after pulling away from the Leeds-based triathlete in the closing seconds of the 10k run for her first World Series win.Learmonth will be part of the British triathlon team at next month's Tokyo Olympics.
