I’m Dominik Sowieja – a passionate triathlete, engineer, and extreme sports enthusiast.

With a background in robotics and automation, I now dedicate my energy not only to my work as an engineer but also to competing as a professional triathlete in middle- and long-distance races.

My journey began back in 2011 with short-distance competitions. Just three years later, I celebrated my first major milestone by winning the German Middle Distance Championship in my age group. Since then, my career has been marked by further achievements:

• 2× European Championship titles (middle distance age group & duathlon short distance)
• 3× German Championship titles (middle distance age group, duathlon, and elite cross-duathlon)

Since 2017, I have been competing at the professional level with one clear goal: to earn a place among the very best long-distance triathletes in the world and to fight for top positions at the Ironman World Championship. Along the way, I have achieved:

• 1× professional podium finish
• 2x Qualification for Worlds (Ironman + Ironman 70.3)
• 13× top-7 finishes in Ironman and Ironman 70.3 events. 

But my story goes beyond numbers and medals. For me, sport is about testing my limits, discovering what I am truly capable of, and—above all—inspiring others to follow their passion and do what they love.

Life doesn’t always follow a straight line. I have overcome challenges such as severe asthma in my youth and a serious cycling accident in 2017 that left me with multiple spinal fractures. These experiences taught me resilience and the importance of never losing faith. Because I kept believing, I am still here, racing as a professional athlete.

Stay positive – keep believing – never give up.
