[edit] Biography
Jornet was born in Sabadell in Catalonia, Spain. He started ski mountaineering in 1999 and competed for the first time at the La Molina race of the Spanish Cup in 2000. In 2003 he became a junior member of the Spanish national ski mountaineering team, and has raced as a senior since 2007. He is a member of the international Dynafit team[citation needed] and lives in Puigcerdà.
For his achievements in the "junior" class ski mountaineering team, he won the Catalan sports award (Premi d’honor d’esport català) in 2004, 2005 and 2006.[citation needed]
Jornet has been recognised as an elite athlete since 2004[2] by the Catalan and Spanish sports councils (Consell Català de l’Esport and Consejo Superior de Deportes).[3]
In 2005 he set a new course record of 2:30:57 for the race to the 4,015 metre summit of the Dôme de Neige des Écrins.[4] He was World Champion in the Buff SkyRunner World Series in 2007,[2] 2008 and 2009[5] becoming the youngest athlete to win this honour.[2]
Jornet studied at the University of Perpignan Via Domitia.[6] His sister Naila Jornet Burgada also competes in ski mountaineering events.[7]
