Brownlees’ Brotherly Domination in Madrid
Great Britain’s Alistair Brownlee could have handily won the ITU World Championship Series race in Madrid last June. Instead the 23-year-old opted to slow down and slap hands with fans while waiting for his younger brother Jonathan to round the bend. The pair then draped their arms around each other and approached the finish line arm in arm before Alistair stepped ahead at the very end. The elder brother officially beat his brother by two seconds, but it was a memorable moment for both Brownlees.
