Started cross-country skiing at age 33. (semillerosdeportivos.com, 13 Dec 2021)
At age 16 he started triathlon, but as his wish was to participate at the Olympic Games he decided to do a less traditional sport and switched to cross-country skiing very late.
“I decided to change sport because, even though I wanted triathlon so much and I was doing well nationally, I saw that I could not achieve the dream of my life, which was to qualify for the Olympic Games. So I was looking for another sport in which I had that possibility, I looked at some summer disciplines, but since I didn't find what I wanted, so I decided to look at the winter ones and I found that skiing was the ideal, it suited my conditions ”.
