Olympic hero Jonny Brownlee has revealed how he converted his own conservatory into a heat chamber before winning gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics last summer.
Triathlete Brownlee, 31, finally captured the one medal to have eluded him when he formed part of Team GB's triumphant mixed relay team along with Jessica Learmonth, Georgia Taylor-Brown and Alex Yee. It followed his individual silver in Rio in 2016, and bronze in London 2012.
The Summer Games in Japan were drastically different to previous events, given the impact of Covid-19. Spectators were barred from attending - and athletes were forced to adhere to strict quarantine rules in a bid to stop them both contracting and spreading the virus.
