Gómez Noya wants to revalidate his national title

Javier Gómez Noya chose Pontevedra to premiere the achievement of the United States Professional Triathlon Championship, as well as the silver medal obtained at the London Games. He is scheduled to compete today (12.45:XNUMX pm) in the Spanish Championship, an event held in the city of Lérez. The ferrolano triathlete will compete in the national test in an exceptional state, so he will try to revalidate the title achieved last year in Vigo.

The athlete settling in Pontevedra also pretends to be a prophet in his land and hang the gold medal. It has guaranteed the support and encouragement of the Pontevedra public, who will again be devoted to their neighbor.

The elite men's race will start at a quarter to twelve in the morning, while the women's race will begin at a quarter past ten in the morning. At the starting line, in addition to Gómez Noya, there will also be Galician athletes Iván Raña and Jesús Gomar, the latter current runner-up of Spain and national aquathlon champion. Raña also returns to the city of Lérez in a season marked by injuries.

The elite test of the Spanish Triathlon Championship has an Olympic distance, so the circuit will consist of 1.500 meters of swimming, 40 kilometers of bike and 10 kilometers of running.

The unstoppable Ferrolane

Pontevedra will take to the streets to see one of his most beloved athletes compete. It is frequent in the municipality of Pontevedra and its surroundings to see Javier Gómez Noya train. In this sense, the Olympic medalist will fight for glory in a circuit he knows perfectly: swimming in the Lérez at the foot of the Tirantes bridge, cycling along the Compostela avenue and race in the historic center and the surroundings of the Galician Sports Technification Center.

Ferrolane is unstoppable. At the Olympic Games in London the silver medal was hung. In the United States Championship, a test limited to 30 athletes and prestigious guests, the Ferrolan triathlete completed the circuit in just one hour, 51 minutes and 21 seconds, a record 38 seconds shorter than his closest rival, the American Hunter Kemper. Pontevedra wakes up today to act as judge of the revalidation or not of the national title of Javier Gómez Noya.

We will also have to be attentive to the role played by the favorites of the elite female category today. At the exit they will be Saleta Castro, Aída Valiño and Ainhoa ​​Murúa. The Gipuzkoan achieved an Olympic diploma in London, and last year she was fourth in the European championship held precisely in Pontevedra.
