The Cuenca triathlete must finish the test that takes place in the Casa de Campo starting at 14.00:XNUMX p.m. ahead of the Galician Iván Raña. If he succeeds, he will attend the Olympic Games representing Spain together with Javier Gómez Noya and Mario Mola.

It is the hour of truth and Madrid will dictate sentence. A place for the triathlon team that will represent Spain at the London Olympics is at stake. Two are the aspirants. On the one hand, veteran Iván Raña, World Champion in Cancun in 2002. and on the other side José Miguel Pérez, triathlete of Cuenca.

Madrid, always difficult

The event will consist of 1.500 meters swimming, 40 kilometers bike and 10 in running and, although the two great dominators of the specialty, the Spanish Javier Gómez Noya and the Englishman Alistair BrownleeThe 'other' Brownlee, Jonathan, who has just won a test two weeks ago in San Diego (USA) will not be there, in which the Balearic Mario Mola - the main Spanish asset in Madrid - was fourth.

Even so, the great battle will be elucidated by Pérez and Raña, who will have to secure the third Spanish place in Madrid, while fighting each other for a place in the team that competes in the London Games. Josemi was never good at Madrid, but surrounded by many Cuencans, he will try to achieve a historical classification.
