TOMMY FURY was unable to complete World Championship level triathlon – it has been revealed.
Fury – the younger half-brother of Tyson – ran his first triathlon along the French Riviera last weekend on just ten days of training.

And he took to social media to declare he had “left it all” there – emotionally reuniting with partner Molly-Mae Hague and daughter Bambi at the finish line.
The gruelling course is made up of three stages: a 2km swim, an 80km bike leg and finally an 18km run to the finish line.
But it was reported on Wednesday that there was a discrepancy in Fury’s race.
According to Marathon Investigation, Fury did not actually finish the event, pointing to his bike splits, which showed he was not logged beyond the 48km point.
These splits were recorded every 6km along the route and searching for Fury’s official time on the Sportstats website will reveal a large DID NOT FINISH next to his name.
But, it made him one of 93 athletes not to have completed the route.
Further, tri247.com found that road closures had been shortened as the bike course for the amateurs had been changed since the event was first announced.
The amateur groups were tasked with six laps of around 13km – meaning they would be unable to finish the bike leg before the roads re-opened.

The Professional Triathletes Organisation said: “Due to our permit for the road closures in France, unfortunately Tommy and some other athletes in the 100km amateur race were unable to complete the bike course before the cut-off time.
“However, given our philosophy to grow the sport and encourage new athletes, we wanted to give them as full an experience as possible.
“So they were all given the opportunity to do the 18km run and cross the finish line.”
