Men’s triathlon: Also in the leading pack of nine with Alex Yee are: USA’s Kevin McDowell, New Zealand’s Hayden Wilde; Norway’s Kristian Blummenfelt and Casper Stornes; Belgium’s Marten Van Riel; GB’s Jonathan Brownlee; Switzerland’s Max Studer and France’s Dorian Coninx. Coninx is falling off the pace though and the pack could drop him soon. Australia’s highest-placed athlete, Jacob Birtwhistle, is 27 seconds back in 16th place.
The men’s triathlon is in full swing and we’re on the final leg – and the athletes are on the run. Ominously for his competitors, Great Britain’s Alex Yee is at the front of a pack of nine leading the race – he is an incredibly good runner and it will be tough for anyone to beat him on foot. Because of the heat in Tokyo the athletes are allowed to hydrate as much as they want and they’re all taking advantage.
Hello and welcome to another day of action in Tokyo. We’re all go in the men’s triathlon while round three of the women’s surfing and the debut of women’s skateboarding (there was a home win for Japan yesterday in the men’s competition) will start shortly.
Meanwhile, here is my colleague Martin Belam on what to look forward to today. All events are listed here in local Tokyo time. Add an hour for Sydney, subtract eight hours for York, 13 hours for New York and 17 hours for San Francisco.
