Great Britain's Georgia Taylor-Brown overcame serious injury 12 weeks before the Olympics and a bike puncture in the race to take silver in a wet and windy triathlon.

The 27-year-old Mancunian was on crutches 12 weeks ago with a stress reaction in her thigh bone and had to undergo a fitness test just to get to Tokyo 2020.

In today's race she suffered a puncture while in the lead pack and lost around 15-20 seconds on the eventual winner Flora Duffy, 33, Bermuda's first ever Olympic champion.

Team GB now has three gold, four silver, and a bronze to sit 5th in the overall medal table. Georgia had not competed in a triathlon for more than a year and had to keep her injury secret so that she did not give any advantage to the rest of the field.
