'On yıllık nefret ve taciz' - Schoeman, Brownlees'e karşı viral zafer hakkında

Henri Schoeman, who won a viral 2016 Triathlon World Series Grand Final in which Jonny Brownlee was helped over the line by his brother Alistair, says he has received a decade of abuse since the race.

South African Schoeman, then 25, was vying for the lead with Jonny Brownlee on the final run leg and overtook the dehydrated and exhausted Briton with 700m to go in Cozumel, Mexico.

With the help of third-placed Alistair, Brownlee finished second, short of the victory which would have secured him the world title in the overall standings.

"Every time this video goes viral I receive messages and comments blaming me for what happened, attacking me and sometimes even attacking my family."

Schoeman said he came into the race determined to prove a point after some had questioned whether his Olympic bronze in 2016 - behind the Brownlees - was a one-off.

He said long-distance racing has featured many examples of athletes misjudging their pace or fuelling strategy and 'hitting the wall' close to the finish line.
