Sport Specific Information

When and where did you begin this sport? He began fencing in 2000 in Madrid, Spain.

Why this sport? He became interested in the sport after trying it during a physical education class. He chose foil due to the class schedule. "I liked it from the first day. I loved the fact of facing another person with a weapon, having to defend and touch him without being touched."

Other information MOVE TO ITALY
In 2015 he began training in Italy. "I wanted to train with the best athletes. Italy has more Olympic medals in fencing than in any other sport. There they are real professionals and it was a perfect opportunity to train with world medallists and be one of them myself one day. In Italy I have learned not to conform. In Spain to be among the top eight is a very good result but here you always want to be top three. They make me demand more of myself, and I am a hard worker who never gives up."
