Javier Gómez Noya does not commit to being in Tokyo 2020

At the press conference of the Princess of Asturias awards, the Galician triathlete, five times World Champion, commented how grateful he is for the Princess of Asturias Award for Sports and has valued the season and its future.

 

 

The five-time world champion has regretted having lost the opportunity to compete in the Olympic event for which he was at an "optimal moment" and has not wanted to ensure his presence in Tokyo 2020, who will arrive with 37 years.

"My goal is to compete in March and little by little to continue competing. I want to go year after year, I am at a good level, but it will be my body that tells me what to do“, has sentenced in Oviedo.

Noya, who has already suffered from being separated from the high competition due to the detection of a heart anomaly that led to the temporary withdrawal of the international license in 2003, affirms that at this time he also has other options in long distance.
