British triathletes Jessica Learmonth and Georgia Taylor Brown were both disqualified after they crossed the line together following the heat-affected test event for next year's Tokyo Olympics on Thursday morning.

Bermuda's Flora Duffy, who finished third behind the pair, was elevated to first in the race that also doubled as an Olympic qualifier.
