Alex Yee won England's first gold medal of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games with a barnstorming display in the men's triathlon on Friday.

The Olympic silver medallist was involved in a two-horse battle with Hayden Wilde at the end of the 5km, but the New Zealand man was hit with a 10-second penalty for a transition error.

Once the news of his penalty filtered through to Wilde, he gave Yee a pat on the back and stepped aside to serve his penalty, allowing the Englishman to cross the line with a total time of 50:34.

Yee - who was 16 seconds behind Wilde (50:47) at one stage in the 5km run - told BBC Sport: "This is probably my greatest achievement ever. We were preparing meticulously for weeks.

"I feel extremely grateful and proud to be a triathlete. It's an amazing day for triathlon and I feel super proud to be the winner of this event."

Wilde soon followed Yee to win the silver medal, with Australia's Matt Hauser (50:50) clinching the bronze medal, but the former hinted that his team would appeal the 10-second penalty.

Scotland's Grant Sheldon (51:24) settled for fifth place in the event, while Iestyn Harrett of Wales (51:51) ended up in ninth. body check tags ::
