Alex Yee delivered England’s first gold medal of the Commonwealth Games following victory in the individual Triathlon. The 24-year-old produced a superb comeback to defeat his biggest rival Hayden Wilde, who took the silver medal while Matthew Hauser claimed the bronze.
The competitors completed a course half the length of what is seen at the Olympics and the Englishman delivered in style. Yee found himself with some work to do early on as he finished the swim in 16th place.
Wilde put in a fantastic swim for New Zealand leaving the water in third place. There were three riders out front as the triathletes hit the road - Jamie Riddle and Tayler Reid were the two others up top with Wilde.
