As second-place finisher Lionel Sanders said in a post-race tweet, “We have officially entered the New Era.” Sanders isn’t the only one noting Brownlee’s guns-blazing performance—social media in the triathlon community is buzzing with excitement over the new long-course star.
And, of course, Alistair Brownlee got the last word. #winning (See the final post.)
