2023 WTCS Abu Dhabi: Men's Highlights

It was back to business for Britain’s Alex Yee on Friday afternoon as he delivered a trademark 5km run to hold off a strong field and earn the first World Triathlon Championship Series Abu Dhabi gold of 2023.

It was the perfect way to banish the Championship Finals blues of 2022 for the Olympic silver medallist, 30 seconds back out of the water, bridging to the leaders early on in the 20km bike and then seeing off a field stacked with incredible running talent that had boiled down to Yee, Portugal’s Vasco Vilaca and Brazil’s Manoel Messias with silver and bronze respectively.
