Henri Schoeman says viral 2016 win over Brownlees led to decade of abuse

Henri Schoeman, who took a viral 2016 Triathlon World Series Grand Final over Jonny Brownlee, reveals the decade of abuse in the race's aftermath. Henri Schoeman, who won the 2016 Triathlon World Series Grand Final in which Jonny Brownlee was helped over the line by his brother Alistair, has received a decade of abuse since the race. Schoemen, then 25, was competing with Brownlee on the final leg and overtook him with 700m to go in Cozumel, Mexico. With the help of third-placed Alistar, Brownlee finished second, which would have secured him the world title in the overall standings. Scheeman stated that he came into the race to prove a point after some had questioned whether his Olympic bronze in 2016 was a one-off. He also shared his personal experiences with messages blaming him for what happened and attacking his family.
