    That deciding game was just so easy, I couldn't believe they had 10 match points.

    It must be so annoying having Alistair as your older brother.

    I don't have a brother, but can imagine winning a gold medal AND beating your brother must be so much more satisfying than 'just' winning a gold, no matter how much you love them

    The Brownlees are both insane. So much better than everyone else, it's unreal.

    was discussing with a friend the most dominant Gold medals to have been won so far at the Olympics, Trott's Omnium victoy and Ledecky's 800m freestyle both mentioned, Alastair Brownlee's triathlon looks like it could well be joining that list

    The Brownlees are machines. I've seen them wait and cross the line together before and was so sweet that Alastair waited for Johnny so he could get to share it with him. Then holding hands and hugging while on the floor. Must be one proud Mum and Dad Brownlee. Reet chuffed for them.

    Imagine their competitors collectively groaning when they see the Brownlee brothers have entered the same event (not just the Olympics) must be soul destroying.

    In all the interviews with the other competitors, all of them pretty much admitted there's no chance when the Brownlees are competing.
