Although Alistair was eager to win, he still chose the family love, why?
The Brownlee brothers have been doing triathlons since they were children. “Obviously, when your older brother is doing it, you think it's a cool thing to do,” says Jonny. Alistair says that they encourage each other as much as they can when they train. Despite arguments over “stupid things” now and then, Alistair agrees that having a brother is an advantage. “Through out my entire life, I've had my brother trying to beat me at everything I do. It has been an enormously positive force.”
Watched by millions, the ending to the race has divided opinions: should the brothers have been disqualified or highly praised for their actions? But for Alistair, his decision was easy to explain: “Mum wouldn't have been happy if I'd left Jonny behind” At that moment, he was no longer an athlete aiming for a medal - he was just a brother.
