Javier Gómez Noya "Achieving the 5º official world title would be sensational, the prize for so much work"

The Galician athlete is worth to enter the positions of the podium to get the world title

Today Saturday the final of the circuit that gives the title of official world champion of triathlon is disputed. It will be in Chicago, on the Olympic distance and with departure to the local 5 of the evening, 12 of the night in central Europe.

Javier Gómez Noya he arrives as the outstanding leader and is the only one of the 5 who mathematically aspires to the title that depends on himself. Doing Top3 would give you enough points to stay ahead; and then depending on the results of the other 4 that mathematically have some option (Mario Mola, Vincent Luis, Richard Murray and Fernando Alarza) may be worth other results. The international federation has put a simulator on its website to calculate how the general would look depending on the result of each one.

But Javi will not compete with the score in mind but will go out as always to give everything: "I'm going to take it like any other competition. The rivals are going to make it difficult for me since they have specifically prepared this appointment. But I am also strong and motivated. Also Chicago brings back good memories given that I won in 2014. Achieving the 5º official world title would be sensational, the prize for so much work".

After being 2º in Edmonton the 6 of September remained there in Canada more than 15 days training and has traveled to Chicago at the beginning of this week. In addition to the close rivals in the general standings, it is worth noting the participation of the youngest of the Brownlee, Jonathan, back after an injury (on the other hand Alistair is still convalescing from operation in one foot). Without caring about the general, its result can be determining for how the rest are

The route is urban; with 2 swimming round-trip stretches on Lake Michigan to meet the 1500m; 9 bike turns for the 40km; and 4 on foot for the 10km. Both by bike and on foot with several points in each loop where visually check the references. Good weather is expected, after several days there with rain that have even altered the program of competitions of the other categories.
