"That's probably it for my Olympic career – I’ve got all the medals," Brownlee told reporters."To win my first Olympic gold is obviously special but to win it as part of a team is even more special. Yee brought Britain home with a superbly judged performance, not panicking when his lead on the bike was wiped out by charging Frenchman Vincent Luis, tucking in on his wheel before roaring out on the run to build a lead he never looked like relinquishing."I was pretty confident in his running form but it's the best and worst position to be in the lead as all you can do is lose," Brownlee said of the 23-year-old.
Yee said he had to"put away" his individual silver to enable him to focus on his team role but admitted to being nervous in the heat of battle.
