Triathlon

My boyfriend was on the Israeli triathlon national team and tried to reach the Tokyo Olympics.
Itamar has always loved sports from a young age.
He used to run for fun and when he was 11 years old a triathlon coach saw him running and offered to join him in a triathlon team.
From that moment he practiced running, cycling, and swimming, competed in triathlon competitions, and aimed to go as far as possible.
When he was 17 years old, he joined the Israeli triathlon national team and moved to study and live at the Wingate Sports Boarding School.
Over the years he trained 3 times a day, 8 hours, 6 times a week.
He won many competitions during his career, was the champion of Israel in triathlon several times, competed all over the world, and reached a good world ranking.
At the age of 23, he was injured and thus could not compete and earn a world score to be eligible to enter the Olympics
and thus realized that his career was over.
With great regret, he made the decision to retire at the age of 24.
Today he is the owner and coach of a running and triathlon group in several branches in Israel.
