Brownlee brothers to compete in the Super League Triathlon in Jersey
It's happening in September
The Brownlee brothers will compete in the Super League Triathlon in Jersey in September.
Their participation represents Jonny's first in the event, after injury kept him from March's in Hamilton Island, Australia, when 29-year-old brother Alistair did not finish having been unwell.
Both the men's and women's competitions will take place over the 23rd and 24th September, and for prize money of £100,000.
The 27-year-old Jonny Brownlee, who won a silver medal at Rio 2016 after finishing second to Alistair, said:
"I had to miss Hamilton Island because of injury but I watched the races and know that the Super League Triathlon format will suit me as an athlete."
"Jersey will be brilliant, with the conditions not as humid as Hamilton Island, and I'm looking forward to racing Super League there for the first time."
A total of 25 Olympians are scheduled to compete in Jersey.
