Tokyo 2020: all the reaction on social media from the dramatic men’s race

It was silver for GB’s Alex Yee after an amazing race – what will the next few years hold for him?

What a race from Kristian Blummenfelt to take gold – fully deserved

Our hearts go out to podium hopeful Vincent Luis, who finished a disappointed 13th, sometimes it just isn’t your day.

Some great words from Jonny Brownlee – what memories the Brownlee brothers have given us and what a legacy they leave behind in Olympic-distance racing. Sheer inspiration for generations to come

And thank you Javier Gomez for all you have done. Tokyo 2020 might not have gone the way you wanted it but you remain a legend and a true ambassador of the sport. Let’s see what long-distance holds for you…!

Yep believe it Kristian Blummenfelt – you are the Olympic champion

Here it is mum

And its a very happy Hayden Wilde

And make sure you all have a restful day as we go again tonight in what promises to be another thrilling race…

But the last words belong to Ali Brownlee
