Georgia Taylor-Brown wins silver in the women s triathlon
As Bermuda celebrated its first ever Olympic title, Britainâs Georgia Taylor-Brown was left to wonder what might have been after heroically clawing her way back from a puncture to win triathlon silver.
Taylor-Brown, the reigning world champion, was perfectly poised in a lead group of five when disaster struck in the closing stages of the cycle and she was forced to watch her rivals pedal into the distance while she rolled her way to the transition zone.
For some it might have signalled the end of their medal hopes. For Taylor-Brown, it was just another challenge to overcome after a tumultuous build-up to a race that had been delayed by 15 minutes due to a tropical storm hitting the Japanese capital.
