This is going to be a great race from here. Two front leaders seem to be a long way ahead.

Dude from Norway looked like a middle aged man

Unless he does a Craig Barrett, the worst Wilde can do is silver you would think. Apparently Wilde doesn't usually run down Yee. I was going to say Wilde should try to crack Yee. Just as I type Wilde is trying to push away from Yee

Go hard right. Gold or blow out

Yup. Go hard or go home. You can't see the margin, but it looks like a significant distance and pulling away

canefan

Wilde is putting the hammer down. Yee doesn't seem to have an answer. Wow

5 second gap now between Hayden and Yee

canefan

Looks strong. I can't believe Yee would let him go like that unless he didn't have the gas

Bones

Running Wilde

canefan

He has a watch in his hand that he keeps looking at. Seems like a man with a plan

canefan

15 seconds!

canefan

Didn't Wilde get penalised in the Tokyo event? Ended up with bronze instead of silver?

Edit, it was the comm games, cost him the gold to Yee

Damo

Down to 12 seconds now. Hope he can keep this up.

canefan

Hopefully the two chasing frogmen will put Yee off

Damo

Looking at it in the wide shot that is a big gap between first and second.

Yeah he unclipped his helmet to early

Yup. Unless he cracks, it's Wilde's to lose. Not long until he gets the bell

canefan

2.5km from the finish. Looks like 100m lead

canefan

Wilde just looks dialled in. Yee doesn't look strong

canefan

I wish they had a distance counter to count us down
