Family influence, as both his mother and uncle represented Argentina internationally in cross-country skiing. (Athlete, May 2021)
Really enjoys the sensation of freedom you can get compared to alpine skiing. Whenever it was possible to choose, he preferred doing cross-country. Started skiing for his club at age 10, and continued every winter after that. (Athlete, May 2021)
Knows he will not win medals at major events so his goals are to finish the skiathlon at the Olympic Winter Games (not being lapped), finish the Tour de Ski, be in top-30 in the Alpen Cup (FIS Continental Cup) and compete in more than one Olympic Winter Games. (Athlete, May 2021)
2019 World Championships in Seefeld, where he raced the 10km qualification, finishing in the top-10. "It is really memorable for me because I wasn't expecting anything and it was a good motivation for starting to work harder." (Athlete, May 2021)
Doesn't have one idol, but really enjoyed watching the Olympic Games when growing up and knew everything about every athlete in any sport he watched. (Athlete, May 2021)
His ski coach who sets targets for him and helps him develop. His rowing coach for motivating him to train hard and trying to race at top physical level helping him develop proper sporting habits and a hunger for good results. (Athlete, May 2021)
None. Believes rituals can be good for confidence but can become a problem if prevented from following due to external circumstances. "It's better to believe in things you can control." (Athlete, May 2021)
"Sport is a way to learn about life and hard work, a possibility to grow and travel, and a way to live fully and properly every day enjoying nature and enjoying one's own abilities. It's amazing when you can achieve something new or improve on a skill. I think everybody should give themselves the opportunity to experience what is within their power." (Athlete, May 2021)
