Schoeman claims men's triathlon gold in upset


South Africa's Henri Schoeman has claimed gold in the men's triathlon at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games at Southport Broadwater Parklands on Thursday 5 April.

Schoeman broke away on the run leg to beat fast finishing Australian Jacob Birtwhistle, while Scotland’s Marc Austin claimed bronze.

England's Brownlee brothers (World and Olympic Champion Alistair and Jonathan) were expected to be in medal contention, but both were dropped in a competitive field and could not get back into the race. 

Australia's junior world champion Matthew Hauser finished fourth.
