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.

Hugging each other at the end, great mates apparently

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

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.

What a race in the rowing - Women's Quad Sculls

On the line for GB over the Dutch

Great timing

[canefan]

Hayden gives McCullough his flowers for helping on the bike. And dropped an F bomb on live TV. And congratulates Yee. Awesome

[1kiwi]

Bronze in Tokyo, Silver in Paris, Gold in Los Angeles?

[Chris B.]

@canefan A bit of a Kane Williamson-like speech.

Great race - no tears.

As he said, he was happy it was a fair fight for he and Yee. No excuses, the best man won

[MajorPom]

Amazing 10 mins for GB.

Yee overtakes Wilde in the last 100 metres (boooo....) and then they overtook the Netherlands rowers in literally the last metre.

Gutted for Wilde, he looks like he had that completely under control.
