Alex Yee shares what triathlon competitor Hayden Wilde told him after his arrogant celebration.

Hayden Wilde seemed to be a bit upset with Alex Yee's post-race celebration at the finish line. However, Alex Yee himself insists that Wilde was not bothered by it at all. In fact, Yee believes that Wilde was simply disappointed with the outcome of the race, rather than being upset with his showboating. The two athletes have had quite the rivalry this year, with Yee coming out on top in both the Olympics and the recent supertri opening race of the season.

Yee, who is a star for Team GB, delivered a stunning comeback in the Olympic triathlon event, managing to beat out Wilde for the gold medal. This was one of the most memorable moments of the entire summer games. And just last month, history repeated itself as Yee once again managed to overtake Wilde in the final stages of the race, this time in Boston.

As Yee approached the finish line in Boston, he couldn't contain his excitement and began thumping his chest in celebration, followed by a Kylian Mbappe-esque crossed-arms pose. Some people criticized Yee for his behavior, calling it "classless" and "arrogant", especially since it came after Wilde's heartwarming display of sportsmanship at the Olympics. However, Yee reveals that when he spoke with Wilde after the race, Wilde told him that he was simply disappointed with the result, not with Yee's celebration.

Yee explains that for him, triathlon is a way of expressing himself, and he believes that athletes should be able to show their personalities in the sport. He also mentions that triathlons don't allow for much time for self-expression, apart from the race course and a few minutes for social media. So, he was just excited about his win and couldn't contain his emotions.

Yee and Wilde have a healthy rivalry and Yee believes that the triathlon world is in a great place right now. He is proud to be leading the way with his Kiwi rival and believes that there are many other amazing athletes working just as hard to reach their level. Yee is grateful for the opportunity to express himself and celebrate in the sport of triathlon.
