只是一位兄長
這是2016年在墨西哥舉行的世界鐵人三項系列賽的最后一程。距終點還有700米，阿利斯泰爾·布朗利位列第三，他的弟弟喬尼處于領先地位。阿利斯泰爾在酷熱中奮力奔向終點，但就在他轉過彎道時，卻看到弟弟搖搖欲墜地要摔倒在跑道上。阿利斯泰爾必須做出選擇——是要手足之情，還是要贏得比賽？
對阿利斯泰爾來說，如何選擇顯而易見。弟弟遇到了麻煩，他必須施以援手。阿利斯泰爾跑向喬尼，抓住他，并開始拖著他跑向終點。接著，阿利斯泰爾把喬尼推過終點線。這一舉動使喬尼獲得第二名，而他自己則位列第三。這是這場比賽的一個意料之外的結局，但阿利斯泰爾并不想與媒體討論此事。他只想去探望被緊急送到醫療區的弟弟。
布朗利兄弟從小就接觸鐵人三項。“顯然，當你的哥哥參加鐵人三項時，你會覺得這很酷。”喬尼說道。阿利斯泰爾稱，他們在訓練的時候盡可能地互相鼓勵。盡管偶爾會為一些“蠢事”爭吵，阿利斯泰爾仍然覺得有個兄弟是種優勢。“在我的一生中，我的弟弟總想在各個方面打敗我。這對我來說是非常積極的動力。”
有數百萬人目睹了這場比賽的結局，但對此也是眾說紛紜：兄弟二人是應該因他們的行為被取消比賽資格，還是應該被高度贊揚？但是對阿利斯泰爾而言，他的決定很容易解釋：“要是我撇下喬尼，媽媽肯定會不高興的。”在那一刻，他不再是一名想贏得獎牌的運動員——他只是一位兄長。

只是一位兄長
這是2016年在墨西哥舉行的世界鐵人三項系列賽的最后一程。距終點還有700米，阿利斯泰爾·布朗利位列第三，他的弟弟喬尼處于領先地位。阿利斯泰爾在酷熱中奮力奔向終點，但就在他轉過彎道時，卻看到弟弟搖搖欲墜地要摔倒在跑道上。阿利斯泰爾必須做出選擇——是要手足之情，還是要贏得比賽？
對阿利斯泰爾來說，如何選擇顯而易見。弟弟遇到了麻煩，他必須施以援手。阿利斯泰爾跑向喬尼，抓住他，并開始拖著他跑向終點。接著，阿利斯泰爾把喬尼推過終點線。這一舉動使喬尼獲得第二名，而他自己則位列第三。這是這場比賽的一個意料之外的結局，但阿利斯泰爾并不想與媒體討論此事。他只想去探望被緊急送到醫療區的弟弟。
布朗利兄弟從小就接觸鐵人三項。“顯然，當你的哥哥參加鐵人三項時，你會覺得這很酷。”喬尼說道。阿利斯泰爾稱，他們在訓練的時候盡可能地互相鼓勵。盡管偶爾會為一些“蠢事”爭吵，阿利斯泰爾仍然覺得有個兄弟是種優勢。“在我的一生中，我的弟弟總想在各個方面打敗我。這對我來說是非常積極的動力。”
有數百萬人目睹了這場比賽的結局，但對此也是眾說紛紜：兄弟二人是應該因他們的行為被取消比賽資格，還是應該被高度贊揚？但是對阿利斯泰爾而言，他的決定很容易解釋：“要是我撇下喬尼，媽媽肯定會不高興的。”在那一刻，他不再是一名想贏得獎牌的運動員——他只是一位兄長。
