Must admit, I completely forgot about this until I saw today's schedule. Can't really see Jonny getting the better of his brother but you never know. Hoping to see both on the podium.

Also, the GB women have real medal chances but it'll be hard for anyone to topple Gwen Jorgensen (USA). Anyone who watches the world triathlon series will know what a beast she is.

Men's race, 3pm, Thursday
Women's race, 3pm, Saturday

Decent crowds for this and they don't have any Brazilian competitors. I guess being free helps.

There he goes!!!

I need a lie down after watching that. I'm knackered.

Nope. He was in the chase group with Mola, fell off his bike and had to retire.

edit: just checked and he was 40 odd seconds behind after the swim.

Non Stanford and Vicky Holland are going well in the lead group... but so is Gwen Jorgensen. That's basically gold gone...

Looks like our girls are battling each other for bronze and one of them is going to end up empty handed.

Incredible run by Gwen Jorgensen. She still looked like she was jogging even though she left the 2nd runner for dead on that last lap.
