Jonny Brownlee and Alex Yee are both apparently set to miss Sunday’s Mixed Rely at WTCS Leeds following that horrific crash during Saturday’s Men’s individual race.
In the immediate aftermath of Saturday’s brutal race in Roundhay Park hope remained that the pair may be okay to compete on Sunday afternoon (1325 start local time).
But it quickly became evident that Brownlee would miss out after he revealed on Instagram that he had suffered a broken elbow in the crash.
There was no news about Yee’s participation at that stage – he came away with a cracked bike frame and helmet, but without serious injury.
Latest start lists for Sunday on the official World Triathlon website though show no Yee, which if confirmed would mean only Georgia Taylor-Brown of that golden Tokyo quartet would line up for her home race. Jess Learmonth was already ruled out because of a hip injury. We have approached British Triathlon for final confirmation of the lineup.
The current start list shows Great Britain lining up with Tom Bishop leading off before handing over to Sophie Coldwell, who produced that brilliant third place in the women’s individual race.
Grant Sheldon is slated to step in for leg three, before Taylor-Brown brings it home for the local team.
