Plumber Says Tommy Fury Pushed Him at Great North Run as Scrutiny Over Triathlon DNF Continues

Official records mark his 100km triathlon as a DNF after road-closure cut-offs halted 93 amateurs.

Overview

  • Diarmaid Warner, 38, said he felt a hand on his shoulder as Fury squeezed past on the final bend and called the move "not on."
  • Footage from Sunday’s half marathon in Newcastle was widely shared as viewers questioned Fury’s race etiquette; he has not addressed the clip.
  • Sportstats lists Fury as Did Not Finish for the French Riviera T100 triathlon, with bike splits recorded only to about 46–48km, according to independent analyses.
  • The Professional Triathletes Organisation said permit limits forced early road reopenings that stopped 93 amateur cyclists from finishing the bike leg, though they were allowed to run and cross the line.
  • Journalists report Fury’s representatives have not responded to requests for comment regarding the Great North Run video or the triathlon record.
