Brockley to 'Brock-Yee': How Alex Yee won triathlon gold

A week and a bit on from the Paris Olympics and many of Team GB's athletes have been returning home to tell the tales of their success.

One such athlete is South-East Londoner Alex Yee, who upgraded his Tokyo Silver to Gold in the Triathlon in Paris.

Alex hails from Brockley, and his victory has been wildly celebrated there - with a mural painted under a rail bridge re-naming the neighbourhood 'Brock-yee' in his honour.

大象传媒 Radio London's Gemma Stevenson has been speaking to him about his athletic family, digging deep, and hometown fame.
