Whitlock delivered gold for England in a run of three gold medals in seven minutes Mike Egerton/PAMax Whitlock’s ultimate aim is to write his name in lore by having a move named after him in gymnastics’ code of points. The almost inevitable team gold was delivered for England with precision and panache. It was good to see one Olympic champion hit expected heights after another, Alistair Brownlee, had struggled in the triathlon. That was supposed to have been England’s first gold medal but, having waved the flag at the opening ceremony, the Yorkshire iron man waved the white flag as his dodgy calf struck. Instead, the wins came thick and fast elsewhere with three gold medals won in seven minutes.
