My Take

What strikes me about Alex Yee is how quietly relentless he is. Winning both the Olympic and World triathlon titles in 2024 is the kind of feat that should make headlines for weeks, yet he carries it with the same low-key composure he shows on the run. As someone with a genuine middle-distance background, his closing speed off the bike is almost unfair, and I suspect that foot speed is the real difference between him and the field. Honoured with an MBE before he even turned twenty-five, this Lewisham-born athlete feels like a craftsman first and a star second. I'm fascinated to see how far he can stretch his prime.

Overview
