[@SennaMadeF1]

An Olympic champion but above all, a nice human being! Well done Alex

[@davidbentley4731]

I love this sort of champion. So down to earth. Just personifying the Olympic spirit of excellence and virtue. Well what the Olympics should be about anyway.

[@hairlessgor]

Congratulations Alex on olympic gold!

[@markhooper4532]

Winnie Wallace..... When I look back on the Paris Olympics 2024, you Alex will be my best moment.Snatching the gold in the closings minutes had me leaping off the sofa and crying with pure amazement...... Wonderful, absolutely wonderful.

[@ytnsanw]

Fine young man and a worthy champion. Best of luck to him in the future.

[@peterwong2962]

What a fight back to a final dash for a win for the Olympic Gold.

[@rainbowkitten8990]

You have made us all SO proud ❤

[@kennyjohnson2771]

You are an inspiration for many. Congrats on the Gold medal.

[@northerngateway]

Humble and true gentleman, the real Olympian spirit!

[@jp4163]

What a great well rounded and grounded person. Oh and he won a gold medal?? Awesome!!!

[@gkexx]

Alex Yee, Well done for such a memorable and amazing achievement! It was a pleasure to watch you win your Paris Olympic Gold Medal!🏅

[@kamolhengkiatisak1527]

He says at the end "One day I'd like a perfect race". Yesterday he did, coming from behind near the end of running and winning Gold. Having watched triathlons over the years, yesterday is really fascinating, thinking that Lee could only secure a silver.

[@mattgehringer8554]

What a nice lad, so glad he’s won gold

[@Hasannito]

Inspired by Yee! Great personality and ethics. Want to do more long distance running now… proud that’s he’s representing TeamGB

[@volentezzetnelov3793]

This guy is absolutely amazing. Massive respect and congratulations on your spectacular gold medal Alex 🎉❤👏🏻

[@nobotshere8364]

Inspired, your a role model for millions. Congratulations and so well deserved, hard work pays off.

[@Seahodg]

The dog dodge was so endearing…any athlete using public paths has been there.

[@respek2933]

haha i was about to comment this

[@salmanismail5330]

Watching this and he's just won🎉

[@iainbullock4519]

Congratulations Alex on Olympic Gold and now World Champion, absolutely brilliant performances, such a nice and humble guy, watch all your races and cheer you on, best of British for the future

[@robdechamber3973]

What a fantastic human.

[@PaulRivett-n6t]

being someone who triathlons... you love to see it

[@frostyrobot7689]

Great stuff Alex. Congratulations, that was a great race.

[@georgeelliott1045]

The thing people don’t realise about this guy, he’s probably the most talented runner ever to do the sport. He had a faster 5k time then Mo Farah at the same age. He’s improved his swim massively over the years, props to him.

[@Transsend_it]

Alex is absolute class. His gold medal is well deserved!

[@steveclark2205]

All that, and he's also a member of the Ministry of Funny Walks too😅😮😂❤

[@r_unner_G]

Phenomenal athlete

[@agnes4584]

Congratulations on winning the Olympic Gold Alex 🙂👌👍👏🏼🥇

[@peterreader5508]

Great interview.

[@fivefiveqt214]

To be not just good at something but the best in the world at something is just unfathomable.

[@celticcornwall9022]

What an amazing guy! Legend ✨ Tribute to the nation 🇬🇧

[@jasonking6892]

Top class Bloke 👍🇬🇧

[@helmuthuber766]

Besten Glückwunsch zum Sieg!❤

[@tangarz5357]

Sub 30 in the 10k off the bike is so crazy. Genuinely one of the best performances of the games.

[@jonathanmack4479]

I love his mindset! Even if someone kicks him during swimming, or if someone gets a little too aggressive, he shrugs it off and just says two words [to himself]: “What’s next?” 😊

[@bargen44]

Olympic Champ at Paris2024.

[@joshuaolayanju9658]

Lol, he won just a few minutes ago.

[@AF-gd7fh]

I thought he was out of gold medal contention when Hayden got that gap

[@tomasvalve930]

Lovely

[@aidanoc19]

Had that perfect race in Paris.

[@Jim90117]

It is you, proud moment.

[@vaughnmiller4141]

7:34 He dodged the dog! 🥇🥇🥇

Yeeeeeeeeaaaasss man, geddin there man!

[@harvey2609]

Ironman 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇬🇧

[@Xavier0458]

Lando's skinny little brother

[@Yurkevich22]

If you are from GB and your last name ends with a double EE, a gold medal is pretty much a guarantee!
