Having developed a reputation for delivering a sub-14 minute 5km, the British 10,000m Champion Alex Yee is no slouch in the water or on the bike either. Junior European titles and 5th place in the Cozumel Grand Final in 2016 hadn’t prepared the triathlon world for what was to come. A bad accident in his first World Cup in Cagliari may have set Yee back, but to make his return race on the very same course 12 months late and finish in the top 10 showed the mettle of the young man.

Third place in Weihai at the end of 2018 was his first taste of a World Cup podium but it was in the 2019 season opener, one week before his 21st birthday, that Yee took World Cup gold in Cape Town and then a silver medal at the World Triathlon Series race in Abu Dhabi, establishing himself as one of the sport’s hottest young prospects.

Career Highlights:
- 1st place at the 2019 Accenture World Triathlon Mixed Relay Series Nottingham: Mixed Relay
- 2nd place at the 2019 Daman World Triathlon Abu Dhabi
- Winner 2019 Cape Town World Cup
- 3rd place at the 2018 Weihai World Cup
