The Team GB triathlete brothers were preparing for an Olympic Games but even in lockdown are finding ways to train hard
Alistair and Jonny Brownlee always seem to match each other, whether it’s winning medals in the triathlon at the past two Olympic Games or having birthdays in lockdown. Jonny won bronze in 2012 and silver in 2016 with Alistair the Olympic champion in London and Rio. Alistair turned 32 last Thursday while, this Thursday, Jonny staged a low-key celebration of his 30th birthday in isolation by ordering a takeaway burger from his local pub in Yorkshire.
“It’s a milestone,” Jonny says, “and I keep being told that turning 30 on the 30th is a golden birthday. It’s just weird in lockdown. I’m not really a partier, but it would have been nice to go out.”
