Javier Gómez Noya

Javier Gómez Noya He was born in 1983 in Basel (Switzerland), but with 3 months with his family he moved to Ferrol, where he began to develop all his sporting activity, becoming the best Spanish triathletes in recent decades. With effort and effort, it has become one of the best Spanish triathletes of all time.

Its beginnings in triathlon

He began his career in the triathlon at an early age, with only 15 years, and showed an exceptional talent from the beginning. Gómez Noya has competed in triathlons of Olympic distance, where he has obtained numerous victories and titles. He won the silver medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games, consolidating with it as one of the best triathletes in the world.

Five times world champion, silver medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games, and four times European champion. A record that is completed with the number one of the IU ranking from 2007 to 2016.

One of the hardest moments in his sports career was in 1999, when doctors detected a cardiac anomaly which could mean the end of his newly started career as a triathlete.

And it is that in that year he was already one of the best athletes in his category and all doctors told him that he had to stop competing. Gómez Noya did not agree, so he sought and met the cardiologist Nicolás Bayón, who became a fundamental point in his career as a triathlete. Thanks to him, Javier Gómez Noya continued to compete to this day, becoming a pentacampeón of the triathlon world.
