Who is Jonny Brownlee?<\/strong><\/h2>\nWhatever the proud Yorkshireman\u2019s honest appraisal of his performance in Japan, it was a fitting sign-off to his Games career, having announced that Tokyo would most likely be his last Olympics (although he recently hinted that he might yet be done<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n
And with his 23-year-old teammate Alex Yee winning an individual silver<\/a><\/strong> five days prior, Jonny can also take a large chunk of credit for the very bright future that lies ahead for Team GB; Yee having been inspired to tri watching the Brownlees take gold and bronze<\/strong><\/a> (Jonny, then aged 22) in Hyde Park at the London Olympics in 2012.<\/p>\n
Jonny followed that up with individual silver in Rio<\/strong><\/a> and a still impressive fifth place in Tokyo. In recognition of his sporting successes he was awarded an MBE in the 2022 New Year\u2019s Honours List.<\/p>\n
