Yee could barely move once he crosed the line and he sat up watching the rest of his competitors finish as he regained his strength.

That meant he got a front row view of Canada’s Tyler Mislawchuk as he finished in ninth place looking a little worse for wear.

Mislawchuk took a few paces after finishing before hunching over and throwing up after his mammoth effort.

Several athletes collapsed as soon as they finished, including silver medalist Hayden Wilde.

The Kiwi immediately embraced Yee after finishing and congratulated the Brit on his gold medal.

French bronze medalist Leo Bergere also sat down while his compatriot Pierre Le Corre shook hands with Yee and Wilde after coming fourth.

Wilde looked destined to win New Zealand’s second gold of the Olympics but Yee showed a burst of speed to overtake him in the final 200 metres.

The men’s Triathlon was postponed by a day after tests found dangerous levels of E.Coli in the River Seine.

There were fears the swimming leg would have to be dropped but the water was judged to be safe on Wednesday morning.

The day kicked off with the women’s event as Team GB star Beth Potter won bronze.
