Alex Yee

Alex Yee is an Olympic gold and silver medallist, taking mixed relay gold and individual silver from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, before a year later becoming a double Commonwealth champion in Birmingham. He is also the first male triathlete to be named as part of Team GB for Paris 2024.

In 2023, Alex was once again at the forefront of international racing as he took back-to-back golds in from the first two World Triathlon Championship Series (WTCS) races of the year – Abu Dhabi and Cagliari. He then took bronze in Hamburg before gold in the individual race at the Paris Test Event and silver in the mixed relay.

Appointed an MBE following Tokyo, Alex is a member of the UK Sport World Class Lottery Funded British triathlon squad and is based in Loughborough.

Having progressed through Junior and U23 races, Alex claimed silver in his first WTCS race in Abu Dhabi in 2019. His maiden WTCS gold medal came at Leeds in 2021, before taking two medals that same year at the delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Alex's transition from exciting junior prospect to the U23 ranks appeared to be halted by a horrific mid-race crash at an ITU World Cup event in Italy in 2017. However, a winter of rehab and hard work saw him achieve a remarkable 10,000m run time of 00:27:51 in May 2018 and secure selection for the GB Athletics team at the European senior championships in August. In the September he raced at the ITU World Triathlon Championships on the Gold Coast, finishing 10th in the U23 event – his first standard distance race. In his next race, one week later, he won his first senior ITU World Cup medal in China.

It was in March 2019 where he took a stunning silver medal on his World Triathlon Series debut in Abu Dhabi. 2019 continued to be a successful year with Alex featuring in British Mixed Relay teams that won gold in Nottingham and silver in Tokyo. He also triumphed individually, taking gold earlier in the year at the Cape Town Discovery Triathlon World Cup.

With the 2020 calendar being impacted by Covid-19, Alex finished fifth in the one-off World Championship race before forming part of the bronze-medal winning mixed relay team.

Alex won gold at AJ Bell 2021 World Triathlon Leeds, recording the fastest run on the day to surge to the finish line and claim his first World Triathlon Championship Series gold medal, sharing the podium with Morgan Pearson (USA) and Marten Van Rial (BEL).

He followed this with an individual silver medal on his Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020 before securing mixed relay gold as he raced as the final athlete of the winning British team, joined by Jess Learmonth, Jonny Brownlee and Georgia Taylor-Brown.

Alex's medal successes continued in 2022, starting with the first ever eSport Triathlon World Champion title after securing overall victory in the Arena Games Triathlon Series. This historic achievement was followed by World Triathlon Championship Series wins in Yokohama, Montreal and Cagliari.

Alex also won England's first gold medal of the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games with victory in the men's triathlon at Sutton Park, before then forming part of the Team England quartet which won mixed relay gold two days later.
