    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.

          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

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

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

                                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.

                                        Huge effort.

                                        Probably expended a bit more on the cycle leg, but he put himself in a position to win gold and Yee had that little bit extra on the run.

                                          spiking the ball towards the Eiffel Tower with the ball caught in the gap in the metalwork

                                          Not a euphemism?

                                          A wide angle version of this perspective and composition - but maybe the tower may look too small

                                          Alternatively a zoomed in shot compressing the foreground and background

                                          It’s a night shot
