It might be the final day of action, but there is still plenty of excitement to come on Sunday in London with thousands of age-groupers competing in the Olympic distance World Championships, followed by what is sure to be an epic battle of the three Olympic medallists in the Elite Men’s race. A mere 130 points separate the men, two of whom are each gunning for their third World Championship title. Not to mention some seriously family bragging rights are up for grabs amongst the Brownlee boys.
