It appears Brit Alistair Brownlee will not go for an Olympic triathlon three-peat in Tokyo.
Brownlee’s hopes may have been dashed after being disqualified from a World Series race on Sunday in Leeds, Great Britain.
Brownlee was called for “unsportsmanship behavior” during the swim segment and reportedly pushed an American triathlete in the water.
Brownlee, 33, last made a World Series podium in 2017 and has scantly raced the Olympic distance since.
He moved up to the Ironman in 2019, finishing 21st in the Kona World Championships. He then moved back down to Olympic distance.
