Triathlon triumph could be family affair

Olympic triathlons are notoriously hard to predict, but two British brothers have become so dominant, the biggest argument is over which one will finish first in London.

Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee, who grew up fell-running and cycling in their hilly home county of Yorkshire, were first and second in last year's world championship. This year, they're at it again.

Younger brother Jonathan, 22, won world triathlon races in San Diego and Madrid, before being beaten into second in Kitzbuehel by Alistair, 24, in June, as the world champion returned successfully from an achilles injury.

Triathlon triumph could be family affair

Alistair's seventh victory in his past nine International Triathlon Union (ITU) races, by 49 sec from his brother, firmly re-established him as the gold-medal favorite at Hyde Park on Aug 7.

"Races never go to plan, I never really have a race plan these days," the two-time world champion said, according to the ITU website.

"It's nice to be back on the podium and it is fantastic that we got a one-two. That's what we always aim to get and it's a special day."

Earlier in June, the two registered a joint victory at a smaller event near Oxford where they crossed the finish line together.

Britain is also tipped for the women's gold in the form of Wales' Helen Jenkins, who won last year in London en route to the world title, and has finished second and first in her two ITU races this year.

Jenkins, who is coached by her husband, Marc, slumped to 21st in the heat and humidity of Beijing in 2008, just two months after winning the world championships in Vancouver.

She will have to fend off competition from Australia's 2008 bronze medallist Emma Moffatt, Erin Densham and Emma Jackson as well as New Zealand's Andrea Hewitt and Nicola Spirig, the European champion from Switzerland.

However Jenkins, as well as the Brownlees, will be keenly aware that in its short Olympic history, triathlon has thrown up some unexpected winners.

When the gruelling splash, spin and dash - a 1.5-kilometer (one mile) swim, 40m bike ride, and 10km run - debuted in 2000, Australians were supposed to take center stage at the Sydney Opera House course.

But in the event, Switzerland's Brigitte McMahon outshone the hosts to win the women's race, and Canadian outsider Simon Whitfield took the men's title.

Four years later, Austria's Kate Allen was the surprise women's winner in Athens, while Hamish Carter and Bevan Docherty took gold and silver for New Zealand in the men's competition.
