These two baby faced brothers have conquered the Triathlon world between them. They have both been world champions, they have Olympic medals including gold and now Commonwealth medals - gold and silver. Triathlon is one of the toughest sports - no doubt technical too - but the Brownlee's make light of it.
They are two lads that love their sport. No histrionics, no complicated analysis. They just get stuck in. They train hard - eat normally - live normally. They laugh a lot. They can be serious but do not take themselves seriously. They shrug their shoulders if they lose and come back harder next time.They are a breath of fresh air. (After they won their medals yesterday in a very hot hard race - they put on their rucksacks and cycled home!)
What a contrast to many athletes - always banging on about being "healthy" or more particularly "not healthy". Over complex training regimes. Little joy. Little fun.
The Brownlee's are an example of what sport should be about. Great lads.
