Alistair Brownlee, English triathlete
Alistair Edward Brownlee MBE (born 23 April 1988) is a British triathlete. He is the only athlete to hold two Olympic titles in the triathlon event, winning gold medals in the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games. He is also a two-time Triathlon World Champion (2009, 2011), a two-time World Team Champion (2011, 2014), a four-time European Champion (2010, 2011, 2014, 2019), and the 2014 Commonwealth champion.

His brother, Jonathan Brownlee, is also a decorated triathlete, winning a team Gold in 2021 at the inaugural Triathlon mixed relay at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics; placing second in the 2016 Olympics, third in the 2012 Olympics, winning the 2012 World Championship and the World Sprint Triathlon Championship in 2010 and 2011, as well as accompanying his brother in their World and Commonwealth mixed team relay victories. Along with long time Spanish rivals Mario Mola and Javier Gómez, and Frenchman Vincent Luis, the Brownlee brothers were considered the dominant male Olympic distance triathletes of the 2010's, and particularly the Olympic triathlon races.

Brownlee was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2013 New Year Honours for services to sport.
