"Alpine skiing has been one of the best things in my life. One of the things that I like the most in the sport is the adrenaline that I feel when I’m going as fast as I possibly can, feeling the cold wind on my face. It’s a feeling of freedom that many ski athletes can relate to. The fact that I’m also very competitive, was one of the reasons that kept me on this sport and has been pushing me to fight for more difficult objectives, such as the Olympic Winter Games in 2022."

Qualifying to represent Portugal at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. "It has been a long journey, and a lifetime goal to race for Portugal at the Winter Olympics, ever since I was a little kid." (Athlete YouTube, 26 Jan 2022)
