JONNY BROWNLEE has been left out of Great Britain’s triathlon team for the Paris Olympics, marking the end of an era.

Jonny and older brother Alistair have dominated the sport in Britain over the last decade-and-a-half, winning five Olympic medals between them.

Alistair made his Games debut in 2008 before winning gold on home soil in London four years later and successfully defending the title in Rio, while Jonny claimed bronze in 2012, silver in Rio and a gold as part of Britain’s relay team in Tokyo three years ago.
