Brownlee appointed Team GB Chef de Mission for Dakar 2026
Original: Dakar 2026: "At 17, I had no idea I'd become a two-time Olympic champion" - Chef de Mission Alistair Brownlee's advice for Team GB
Alistair Brownlee, the two-time Olympic triathlon champion, will serve as Chef de Mission for Team GB at the 2026 Youth Olympic Games in Dakar, Senegal. Reflecting on his own career, he said that at 17 he had no idea he would go on to win two Olympic titles, and is passing that perspective on to young athletes preparing for the Games. His message to the team centres on embracing the experience rather than feeling pressure about results.
Why now: The Youth Olympic Games in Dakar are approaching, and Brownlee's appointment and message to young British athletes are drawing attention.
