On Thursday, 11 December, we had the pleasure of welcoming our long-time sponsored athlete, Alex Yee, to the office. As a British triathlete and distance runner, Alex has achieved incredible success, winning gold and silver at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and adding another gold and bronze at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Having proudly supported Alex since 2017, we’ve supported his remarkable journey from a promising young talent to a world-class champion.
During his visit, Alex shared invaluable and personal insights with the team in our Town Hall, answering questions, offering tips on resilience, outlining his desire to improve continually, and reflecting on life after Paris—all while letting us admire his impressive medal collection.
It’s not every day you get to learn from a two-time Olympic champion. We’re grateful for Alex’s time, honesty, and inspiration.
This Tuesday, 17 December, Alex is shortlisted for BBC Sports Personality of the Year. Please make sure to tune into the awards and vote for Alex via phone or online. The voting details will be announced during the programme on BBC One.
Thank you for the visit, Alex, and best of luck for Tuesday and 2025!
