It was an epic day for Great Britain’s Alex Yee, after he managed to overcome the cramps on his leg to claim the victory at the 2022 World Triathlon Championship Series Cagliari. The double Olympic medallist proved how much things have changed for him on his return to the Italian beach resort five years after the horrendous bike crash he had in this same place in 2017. The second place on the day was for another astonishing comeback: Jonathan Brownlee, proving once more that he is one to beat when it comes to working hard on the bike. The bronze medal was for a debutant on the Series podiums: Brazilian Manoel Messias.
