Watch: This incredible act of brotherly love at the end of a triathlon is going viral
British runners Jonny and Alistair Brownlee were competing in the World Triathlon Series over the weekend, and a video of the pair coming up to the finish line has gone viral for all the right reasons. We warn you, this may just too much emotion for your fragile Monday minds, or it could be just the heartwarming video you need.
Jonny was leading the triathlon in first place. However, he stumbled in the last kilometre and it looked as though he wouldn't make it. That was until his brother Alistair came around the bend and slowed down to help him, letting South African runner Henri Schoeman claim the gold.
