Olympic champion Alex Yee will attempt to win his first world title when the World Triathlon Championship Finals take place in Andalusia this weekend, live on the BBC.
"I've listened to the commentary which said 'he was fooling us all along' - I promise you I wasn't!" Olympic triathlon champion Alex Yee tells BBC Sport.
For a third successive year Yee leads the overall standings before the final race, but the title - decided on a season-long points basis - has so far remained out of reach for the most successful Olympic triathlete in history. "I've fallen by the wayside a few times and failed. That's OK. But if I can achieve it, it would be really special and complete an amazing year."which brought an upgrade on his Tokyo silver and made him the second Briton to win the Olympic men's triathlon title after two-time champion Alistair Brownlee.
But he was soon travelling to race in the United States and, although he celebrated another narrow victory over Wilde in Boston, he admits returning to action after the Games was challenging. "But if I'm being honest it has been difficult. You never prepare for what happens afterwards and definitely there is that period after the Games where you feel, not lost, but lacking a little bit of purpose."Wilde was not impressed by Yee's 'cold' celebration in Boston - but the Briton has said his aim was to show personality and hopefully elevate the sport
It meant Yee will start Sunday's world final with his title hopes once again in his own hands, a 428-point lead over closest challenger Leo Bergere ensuring a top-six finish will be enough to see him crowned world champion.
