Brownlee bid fades
GREAT BRITAIN’S Jonny Brownlee finished fourth as Javier Gomez won the Montreal event of the World Triathlon Series.
Five-time world champion Gomez broke clear with around 7km to go to claim the Olympic distance race in one hour, 47 minutes and 52 seconds.
The Spaniard finished 15 seconds ahead of Norway’s Kristian Blummenfelt.
Brownlee had been in a group with Gomez and Blummenfelt but faded, and was passed into third by South Africa’s Richard Murray on the final lap.
The Briton, 27, moves up three places to seventh in the overall standings.
