Alistair Brownlee rules out games and will focus on long distance

The British triathlete Alistair Brownlee has published a thread on the Twitter network where he shows that he discards the Olympic games after his performance yesterday in Leeds.

In this tweet he commented on his injury

"This is not how I wanted my last World Triathlon Series race to turn out. I have struggled with an ankle injury for three months and have done everything I can to improve and stay fit for racing. I knew I needed a lot of luck today and it wasn't going to be like this."

In this other, let see that he will not be in Tokyo

"I think GB has a great team for the Olympics and I wish them all the best. @Lixsanyee's performance today was outstanding and a great advancee. "

And in this other he affirms that he will focus on the long distance and will go under the knife

"I have known that my ankle needs surgery for a while. My focus will be on getting back to health and then long distance triathlon in the future."
