Yee
If there's one thing you should know about triathlete Alex Yee, it's that he's fast. Really, really fast. And he broke out in a big way in 2021, winning a World Triathlon Championship Series race in Leeds, and qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics where he won gold in the mixed relay and silver in the men's triathlon. Alex's hometown is London. As an eight-year-old, he completed his first triathlon south of the city in Crystal Palace. He loves each of the three legs of a triathlon for different reasons. While on the bike, he enjoys the technical side of cycling, taking lines well, and, of course, going fast.
