Necati Er (born 24 February 1997) is a Turkish athlete specialising in the triple jump.
Necati Er was born in Samsun, northern Turkey on 24 February 1997. [1] In his youth, he developed an interest in sports. His teacher of physical education in middle school invited him to athletic trainings. At the same time, he played football. His father, earning a limited income, did not want him to perform further sports, while his mother supported him. His father permitted him only to play football, and did not let him perform athletics because he saw no future in that sport branch. One week before Er was about to join a football team, he was admitted to the athletics team. He became regional champion in Samsun, and then was entitled to compete at the Turkish championships, at which he became runner-up and champion. After his successes, his father agreed with his sports activities. He performed the sprint and long jump before he decided to specialise in the triple jump. [2]
Er was able to improve his techniques after the Turkish Athletic Federation appointed a foreign coach for the triple jump. [2]
He won gold at the 2019 European U23 Championships held in Gävle, Sweden with a new national record of 17.37 m (57.0 ft). [2] [3] With this result, he received a quota for the Athletics at the 2020 Summer Olympics. [4]
