Alistair Brownlee ’50-50′ on trying for third Olympic triathlon title

Alistair Brownlee‘s chances of trying for a third straight Olympic triathlon title in two years amount to a coin flip.

“Tokyo is 50-50 at the moment,” the Brit Brownlee said, according to the Press Association. “Going into next year I’m going to start deciding whether to look at the Olympics, or whether I’m going to focus on doing the longer stuff over the next 18 months.

“The full Ironman is potentially not too far away. It depends on the decision I make going into next year.”

Brownlee will contest just his second Olympic-distance triathlon since September 2016 at the European Championships in Glasgow on Friday.
