Josemi Pérez, Olympic Triathlete announces his withdrawal from the triathlon due to lack of financial support.

El Conquense, which is competing in the Spain Championship by Autonomies in Gijón, he announced his retirement from professional sports, due to the lack of financial support.

It is very sad news for the triathlon, since Josemi, last year achieved the classification for the London Olympics 2012, having great repercussion but without obtaining a great support on the part of the institutions.

In statements to the newspaper eldeporteconquense Josemi exposed: "At that time, the institutions did not overturn with me either. They congratulated me for an achievement, for being the first Cuenca, born in Cuenca, to attend an Olympic Games. It was a celebration for everyone. I do not feel betrayed, but I'm disappointed"

With an eye to the future, Josemi Pérez has found a job that can also be combined with sports practice. "It will allow me to train and study. I need sport for my life, that I can train to try to perform at a national level, it's a relief for me. "
