Olympic triathlon champion Alex Yee described his London Marathon debut as one of the best experiences of his life, despite encountering more difficulties than during the Paris Games. Finishing 14th overall, Yee expressed pride in completing the marathon, praising the crowd's enthusiasm as extraordinary. Highlighting the physical demands, he noted his legs experienced unprecedented soreness, characterizing the marathon as a significant challenge compared to triathlon. Yee confirmed his focus remains on defending his Olympic title in 2028, suggesting this marathon experience is a unique but temporary venture into long-distance running.
"It was probably one of the best experiences of my life if I'm being honest. I expected the crowd to be good but they were another level."
"Definitely a lot more dark moments, I'd say, than Paris, today. Once I got to 32, 33k there's a lot of pain there."
