[VIDEO] Relive the Epic Super League Triathlon Finish between Alex Yee and Marten Van Riel
Britains Alex Yee beat Belgium’s Marten van Riel by a nose in a photo finish to win the Super League Triathlon Championship race in Malibu, California – a finale so dramatic that as the two triathletes ran stride for stride down the finish chute it was a epic battle to the winning tape that signified the end of the race as they collapsed in exhaustion.

Alex Yee – who won mixed relay gold alongside Taylor-Brown, Learmonth and Brownlee at Tokyo 2020 – said of his win: “It was amazing, I told Marten he’d got it, and I can’t quite believe it.
“I’ve learned so much this past month and it’ll help me onwards into the future. It’s so good for our sport to have such short and exciting racing taking place.”
The financial reward was pretty impressive too as Alex’s late surge to take the Super League Triathlon 2021 Championship Series title saw his earnings spike to an impressive $120,000.
