With less than a month until the opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics, Javier Gomez reflects on his career to date, the passion and daily drive that fuel him towards fulling his dream of an Olympic Gold and turning that expectation into a positive force.

Kona is Waiting...Go Javi!!

[@brochan1234]

I'm a Brit, but I secretly rooted for Javi. Gutted he won't be at the olympics.

Really is the Brownlee's race to lose now

So sad that all his hard work for Rio was worth nothing in the end after breaking his elbow recently

[@MadMonte139]

Does he have a chance to compete in 2020 in Tokyo ? He'd be 37 by then... ?

[@joelcorbishley8789]

+MadMonte139 he could compete but by then he'd be getting past his age of peak performance (late 20's to early 30's) meaning it would be very hard to do. Anyway there is a good chance he'll change to Ironman distance after this like a lot of people do e.g. Jan frodeno
