Jonathan Brownlee keeps it in the family to be crowned world triathlon champion in New Zealand Gomez said: "I felt quite good on the run, I tried a couple of times (to break clear) but Jonathan was so strong today so I stayed behind and focused on the sprint. With 150 metres to go I said let's just go as hard as I can and see what happens and I am really happy for the victory. I knew it was almost impossible to be world champion here, Jonathan is a well-deserved champion. He had a really good season, pretty consistent and I did my job today; it's a good way to finish the season so I'm quite happy. Olympic champion Alistair Brownlee had hoped to race in Auckland to support Jonny but has been forced to rest after having his appendix removed last month, heading off to Brazil on holiday instead. Gomez crossed the line in two hours and 29 seconds, with Brownlee two seconds behind and Switzerland's Sven Riederer another 47 seconds adrift in third. Britain's David McNamee was 10th with compatriots Aaron Harris and Mark Buckingham 28th and 29th respectively and Adam Bowden 33rd. In the under-23 race, Britain's Tom Bishop claimed his second consecutive bronze medal, but last year's champion Matt Sharp missed out on the lead group on the bike leg and had to settle for sixth. "The bike course is awesome, I wish more races were like that," Bishop said of the hilly course. I tried my hardest to hurt the legs of the guys and take the kick out of them but I didn't quite do it and I got third again, but I tried my hardest and I'm content with that. Getting a medal at a world championships is pretty good.
