Alistair Brownlee has plenty of history with the Chinese capital of Beijing.

We caught up with the two-time Olympic champ ahead of this weekend’s Beijing International Triathlon to discuss his Chinese tri memories, his ‘terrible’ year of 2018 and that Ironman 70.3 Worlds showdown with Jan Frodeno… 220: You and…

The 2018 Ironman World Championship men’s race is arguably the most anticipated yet. Even after the late withdrawal of hotly-tipped two-time winner Jan Frodeno with a stress fracture, there are many intriguing questions to be answered once racing gets underway on Saturday, October 13. Advertisement Can Patrick Lange deliver another remarkable run performance to defend his crown? Will the crosswinds blow and the biking talent of Sebastian Kienle prevail? Will Lionel Sanders go one better than 2017 and prevent five straight years of German rule? What of the global superstar Javier Gomez, who races on the Big Island for the first time? And will conditions and intense competition align so…
