The Norwegian triathlete was crowned Olympic champion in the discipline, but Kristian Blummenfelt (27) fell short.
Running out of strength after crossing the finish line, the Bergen native started throwing up as he lay on the ground and tried to recover after an incredible effort.
Unable to get up and walk despite the support of New Zealander Wilde and Briton Yee, Blummenfelt was eventually evacuated in a wheelchair.
