This was his eighth race at this level.He represented Great Britain at the European Championships 2018 in the 10,000m.

He beat both Brownlees to win gold.Brownlee is not a fairy tale endingYee was a good pacer, building up through the swim and riding the bike before he surged to the front during the run.Compatriot Brownlee, who said he doesn't like Tokyo's hot conditions, was in medal contention up to the final laps when he couldn’t keep up with eventual medallists.Brownlee won bronze in London and silver at Rio Olympics. This will be Brownlee's last Olympics.He said, "It wasn’t a fairytale ending for me but we have another chance in the mixed relay."Alex has risen through the ranks, and I have seen him do it. He is a tireless worker and I'm glad he is joining our team on Saturday."I knew that the heat was one my weaknesses. Although I tried to prepare myself for the heat, I didn't have enough.
