Javier G\u00f3mez Noya<\/em><\/strong> (1983) <\/em>is the winner of four ITU Triathlon World Championships, holds three ITU Triathlon World Cup titles, and won the Silver medal for Spain at the 2012 Summer Olympics in men’s triathlon. He has also won world titles for Ironman 70.3 and XTERRA Triathlon.<\/h2>\n

G\u00f3mez took up triathlon at the age of 15 after previously playing football and competing in swimming. However his career suffered a setback in 2000 when a routine medical test by the Consejo Superior de Deportes (CSD) revealed an “abnormal heart valve<\/strong>“, leading to a six-year battle between G\u00f3mez and the Spanish sporting authorities<\/strong> regarding his right to compete internationally. He initially won this right in November 2003, but he was not selected for the 2004 Summer Olympics and in 2005 the CSD banned him from international and domestic competition<\/strong> until February 2006.<\/p>\n

In the nine years from 2002 to 2010, G\u00f3mez took part in 57 ITU competitions and achieved 54 top ten positions, among which are 23 first place finishes. In 2003 and in 2008, G\u00f3mez was ITU Triathlon World Champion <\/strong>(both under-23 and Elite categories respectively in 2003). In 2007 and 2009 he was the Elite European Champion. He finished second in the World Championships in 2007 and was the runner up in 2011 ITU Sprint Distance Triathlon World Championships.<\/p>\n

At the 2008 Summer Olympics in men’s triathlon G\u00f3mez was among the pre-race favourites to win<\/strong>. With 300 meters to go in that race, Jan Frodeno<\/a> was the leader of a group made up of G\u00f3mez, Athens 2004 Silver medallist Bevan Docherty<\/a> of New Zealand, and Sydney 2000 Gold medallist Simon Whitfield<\/a> of Canada. Whitfield opened up the gap with a sprint with only Frodeno responding. Frodeno sprinted away with 50 meters from the finish to claim the gold medal. Simon Whitfield took the silver medal five seconds behind, and New Zealand’s Bevan Docherty won the bronze medal 12 seconds back. G\u00f3mez placed 4th, 20.64 seconds behind Frodeno.<\/p>\n

In 2010, G\u00f3mez was the number 1 in the World Championship Series<\/strong> ranking, in 2009 he was number 2, his only rivals being the Brownlee brothers Alistair<\/a> and Jonathan<\/a>. At the 2010 ITU Triathlon World Championship final in Budapest, G\u00f3mez came second to British triathlete Alistair Brownlee, but despite the loss in the final, he won the Championship overall.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the London Summer Olympics<\/strong> in 2012, G\u00f3mez took the Silver medal<\/strong> in men’s triathlon, 11 seconds behind Gold medallist Alistair Brownlee. Following the Olympic Games G\u00f3mez won the Hy-Vee Triathlon against a highly competitive field. A month later in his first ever cross triathlon race, he won the 2012 XTERRA World Championship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2013, G\u00f3mez continued his success from last year winning the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon<\/em> and repeating as the Hy-Vee Triathlon<\/em> winner. He would then go on to win the 2013 ITU World Triathlon Series,<\/strong> his third such title. With this world championship he joined Peter Robertson<\/a> as the other triathlete with three titles to his name, and is just shy of Simon Lessing<\/a> who has four world titles.<\/p>\n

In May 2013, G\u00f3mez competed in his first middle distance race by taking Gold in Challenge Half Barcelona<\/strong>. In February 2014 he raced and won his second middle distance race, Ironman 70.3 Panama.<\/p>\n

In 2014, G\u00f3mez won his fourth ITU World Championships<\/strong>, winning four out of the eight possible races as well as placing third at the Grand Final, tying him for all time championships with Simon Lessing. G\u00f3mez also won the 2014 Ironman 70.3 World Championship<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
