Jonny Brownlee has said that he doesn't want to be remembered for looking like "a wobbly horse down the finishing line" after the dramatic World Triathlon Series event in Mexico.

After the emotional final World Triathlon Series race where Alistair Brownlee helped his brother Jonny over the finish line, the two brothers have given a candid interview about their thoughts at the time of the incident.

Jonny expressed how grateful he was for his brother's willingness to throw away the title of 1st place. "He had the chance to win, but he threw that away to help me out, and obviously it takes a very strong and good person to do that."

When asked why he decided to help his brother out, Alistair said, "I didn't even give it a second thought, I thought I've just got to help him get to the finish line."

Alistair continued, "sport is a beast with two heads – you have to be the most competitive person in the world to win stuff, but then also there is the room to do really special things."

The British athlete described his act as a "spur of the moment decision to do the right thing".
