GLASGOW (Reuters) - Alistair Brownlee continued England's golden start to the Commonwealth Games by winning the triathlon with a dominant display on Thursday. Olympic champion Brownlee, 26, was involved in a duel with younger brother Jonathan for much of the race before pulling away in the last five kilometres of the final segment of the competition, the 10km run.
He crossed the finish line in one hour 48 minutes 50 seconds at the Strathclyde Country Park, 11 seconds ahead of his sibling. South Africa's Richard Murray finished strongly to take the bronze.
