}} Alistair Edward Brownlee, MBE (born 23 April 1988) is a British triathlete, and the current Olympic, European and Commonwealth champion in his sport, having won the gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics and the 2014 Commonwealth Games. He is a two-time Triathlon World Champion, winning in 2009 and again in 2011, a 3 time World Team Champion (2011, 2012, 2014) and a 3 time European Champion. His brother, Jonathan Brownlee, is also a triathlon champion, placing third in the 2012 Olympics, winning the 2012 World Championship and the last World Sprint Triathlon Championship, in addition to accompanying his brother in their World and Commonwealth mixed team relay victories. Brownlee was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2013 New Year Honours for services to triathlon. == Early life and education == Brownlee was educated at Bradford Grammar School, a co-educational independent school in the city of Bradford in Yorkshire, followed by Girton College, Cambridge, where he started a medicine degree. After just the first eight-week term, Brownlee decided to leave and instead went to the University of Leeds, where he gained a degree in Sports Science and Physiology in 2010.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.alistairbrownlee.com/profile.htm )〕 He is now studying for an MSc in Finance at Leeds Metropolitan University.〔 Brownlee was introduced to triathlon at a young age by his uncle, Simon Hearnshaw, who regularly competed in the sport. As a junior, he was a successful fell and cross country runner, coming second in the Junior English Cross Country Championships and winning the Yorkshire County title on several occasions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= U15boys Yorkshire Results 2003 )〕 Brownlee has said that "It was only when I won the World Junior Championships in 2006 that I made the conscious decision to really focus on triathlon".〔http://www.tcs.cam.ac.uk/interviews/0027213-tcs-sport-exclusive-interview-olympic-gold-medallist-alistair-brownlee-mbe.html〕 Subsequently, Brownlee left Girton College, Cambridge where he was reading medicine, to move back to Yorkshire, focus on triathlon and study at the University of Leeds. He described his decision to leave Cambridge to a student newspaper there in 2013, saying "trying to fit 30+ hours of training around my degree was pretty impossible. I decided that triathlon was my true passion, so I moved back to study at Leeds on a less demanding course, and in a city where the sport was well supported at the time by British Triathlon".〔 He is a member of the triathlon club based at Leeds Metropolitan University's Carnegie High Performance centre,〔 and is coached by Carnegie Director of Sport Malcolm Brown, and in swimming by Jack Maitland.〔 Brownlee has two brothers, Edward and Jonathan. His younger brother Jonathan is also a triathlete, and won the bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alistair Brownlee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
