What a race. Hard luck Wilde, great job pushing him to the brink

[Bones]

Ahh fuck man, impressive finish. So close! Good on ya for the silver fella

[SouthernMann]

Well fuck. What a run from Yee

[canefan]

They both look totally fucked

[Donsteppa]

Could see Wilde running out of gas there. Had there been another 200m to the finish I don't think he'd have held silver - so in the end a bloody good achievement. Amazing from Yee to find that extra gear tho.

That was brilliant from Yee

Converted a 15 sec deficit to a 6 sec winning margin between 1:41:38 and 1:43:33 :astonished_face:

MR is around?

Incredible effort from Yee, so close to being the same for Wilde, lets face it a great race from him too.

[canefan]

Wilde ran a great race. Made Yee beat him, and that's all he can ask for

[Canerbry]

That's what the 'Lympics is about.

That was a bit gutting. I feel for Wilde but from the looks of it he left it all out there on the run. Can't feel too bad for him.

Aarghhh!!

Wilde climbing stairs at the end.

He just needed to have one more little surge to disillusion Yee's chase.

Wonder why Yee let him get so far ahead.

Must have burned a lot of fuel making up for the swim.

[KiwiMurph]

That's how you time your run

Silver nothing to sneeze at.

Great race

Maybe Yee was sticking to his own race strategy? With about a km to go he looked cooked. Fuck bloody

[Damo]

That silver takes us to 12th on the medal table.

[canefan]

The commentators said Wilde flew his family over. They have never seen him race overseas. Pretty awesome

And it'll be 4 years before I sit down and watch another whole triathlon.
