Damian Gomez defies the odds with 11th-place finish at the World Triathlon Championships
Damian Gomez defies the odds with 11th-place finish at the World Triathlon Championships With just two weeks of training, 25-year-old South African athlete Damion Gomez delivered an inspiring performance in Spain at his first-ever Triathlon World Championship, finishing 11th overall after an extraordinary test of endurance and heart. The grueling race featured a 3km swim, a punishing 121km cycle, and a 30km run. Damion began the race strong, completing the swim in 53 minutes, and then surging into seventh position by the 56km mark on the bike, trailing the leader by just four minutes. Despite intense heat and limited preparation, he pushed through the cycling leg with determination. 'My legs felt like they had been run over by a bus,' Damion shared with a chuckle, 'and I still had to run further than I've ever run before.' With no prior run training, Damion powered through the 30km flat run course in three hours, ultimately crossing the finish line with a total time of eight hours for the day. He credits the cheers of eMalahleni supporters lining the roads and the presence of his family as major sources of motivation. Reflecting on the experience, Damian described the day as 'extremely hard, hot, and long', yet filled with gratitude. 'I'm so thankful to our Lord Jesus for giving me the talent and opportunity to represent our country and do what I love,' said Damion proudly. For a first outing on the world stage, Damion Gomez didn't just compete; he inspired. And with a steely mindset and strong faith, it seems this is only the beginning. 'Patrice Gautier unfortunately fell ill three days before the race and could not take part. None the less he supported and mentored me as a coach the entire week and I would not have been able to do what I did without him,' said Damion grateful.
