Brownlee unstoppable

16 Aug 2009

The unstoppable Alistair Brownlee again showed he is the real deal taking his fourth Dextro Energy Triathlon – ITU World Championship Series win in four starts in front of an elated home crowd in London, England today. The 21- year old raced from the front over the entire 2012 Olympic venue, cruising home in front of an ecstatic home crowd in a time of 1 hour 41 minutes and 50 seconds. In second place was another up and coming athlete in Germany’s Steffen Justus, eight seconds back. In third was New Zealand’s Kris Gemmell, another three seconds back, just beating out Sebastien Rank in a sprint across the line.
The young blueseventy star couldn’t quite believe it, “I never expected at the start of the season to get a win in Madrid, Washington or Kitzbühel or here,” said Brownlee. “I’ve had a lot of luck on my side, but you’ve got to make the most of it and I think I have. It’s been a great run of results and I hope it continues.” His results speak for themselves , This young man will be very hard to beat in the season finale in Australia.
