Heartbreaking way to lose the World title.

Poor form by the Spanish btw trying to get him disqualified!

i was just coming to post the same thing.

I have severe doubts that my brother would have helped me; he'd certainly echo Ali's comments " I wish the flippin' idiot had paced it right and crossed the finish line first. "

It's not a team sport. Fully understandable and fair.

I was watching thinking why won't he just let the poor bugger get some medical attention but the Brownlees competetiveness is a bit legendary. Alastair said in the interview afterwards that there wasn't any medical people there but they were right next to the water bottles and he didn't even let him take a drink.

Much as I admire the brotherly love, I'm not sure why it's allowed? Surely the whole point is to see who crosses the line first under their own steam?

I think they allow assistance from other competitors only, no outside help. If they didn't then during the cycling and running to a lesser extent they couldn't allow drafting, which isn't going to happen. The only way to be certain that the competitors complete the race under entirely there own steam is a time trial format.

He wasn't "So Far Away" from the finish line when he collapsed anyway

Made me laugh watching Jonny stumble all over the road and then Alistair helping his brother. Was a walk of love for shewer.
