( YASUYOSHI CHIBA / AFP/GETTY IMAGES )RIO DE JANEIRO—The Olympic triathlon is a test that lasts most of two hours. Even when the world’s best athletes gather to swim five kilometres, bike 40 km and run 10 km, it’s a long slog. Alistair Brownlee, 28, would go on to win gold to become the first repeat Olympic champion in triathlon history. Jonathan, 26, would follow up his 2012 bronze medal with a silver, six seconds in arrears of his big brother. So if your name wasn’t Brownlee, essentially, you were among a field of 52 athletes racing for one bronze medal.
