    Triathlon

    His family always instilled in him a love of sport, but he didn't get to know triathlon until the 12th grade, when his physical education teacher introduced him to a coach in the sport.

    He considers that triathlon gives him great freedom and, among many victories, in 2017 he made history by winning two European titles in the space of a week.
