"The Olympic title is what I am lacking and I would like to win it (in
Beijing)," said world triathlon champion Javier Gomez Noya from Spain, local
press published yesterday.
The Olympic gold "is not easy, but it is a goal and a challenge; and it is
for what I pound myself for" (work hard), Gomez, told the press.
"I am doing very well, training hard, doing things the best I can and the
best I know," Gomez said.
Gomez Noya, 25, is the number one in the world triathlon classification. The
discipline includes three endurance tests: swimming, cycling and running.
The triathlon competition in the Olympic Games will take place on Aug. 18 and
19 in the north of Beijing.
The Olympic triathlon includes 1,500-meter swimming, 40-km cycling and 10-km
running.
Gomez is world triathlon champion and won four trials this year: Mooloolaba
(Australia), New Plymouth (New Zealand), Madrid (Spain) and Tiszaujvaros
(Hungary).
"If I can give everything, I will be in the front positions. We will see
later, but I will be happy if I am able to give everything and do my best race,"
Gomez said.
