In an incredible act of sportsmanship and brotherly love, two-time Olympic champion Alistair Brownlee gave up a shot of winning the World Triathlon Series Grand Final to help his heat-exhausted younger brother across the finish line.
Jonny Brownlee appeared to be in serious trouble while leading in the final kilometer, after 1 hour, 45 minutes of racing in Cozumel. Legs wobbled. Arms flailed. Finally, Jonny grimaced and his eyes veered left. He slowed to a stop and had to be held up by somebody on the side of the run course.
Behind him, Alistair and South African Henri Schoeman had been battling for second place.
