Couldn't watch the triathlon game (looking forward for some recap video if you find one.
But seeing the results, I'm impressed. Wow, the Brownlee brothers are really something, aren't they?

I wonder how they trained to become that good

Sibling rivalry at the professional level. I would bet they push each other in training to crazy levels and in racing I am sure there are no stronger ally than with your own brother. I would think there is also a kernel of natural talent with a lot of hard work mixed in there too.

Their race was really impressive. Alistair dropped Jonathan on the second loop (of four) on the run. He ended up putting about 20" gap such that he WALKED across the finish line, basically waiting for his brother.

To compete at that level, it's necessary to choose your parents well.
