Feature Speaker
Alex Yee
Alex is the 2024 Olympic and World Triathlon Champion. Born in Lewisham, south London, he started his triathlon journey at Crystal Palace aged 9. He gained early recognition for his running ability representing Great Britain at cross country and latterly on the track.
He bounced back from an horrific bike crash in 2017 and finished his studies at Leeds Beckett University to qualify for Tokyo 2020, winning Silver in the Individual triathlon and bringing home the Gold in the Mixed Relay.
In what is being described a one of the ‘moments of the Games’, Alex went one better in Paris, winning Gold in the Individual race, and then became the most decorated Olympic triathlete of all time, when Britain won the Mixed Relay bronze medal.
