LEARNING FROM DISQUALIFICATION
In March 2018 he ran what he had thought to be the best race of his life when he crossed the finish line in first position in the 400m at the 2018 World Indoor Championships in Birmingham, England. However, while he was celebrating he was disqualified for stepping out of his lane. "I felt I had fallen from heaven to hell, not before having stopped in a lake of tears, a dream come true that disappeared for a pair of centimetres of line. It was a big blow which will be with me the rest of my career, but I have to get up and get the best out of it, as more opportunities will come." (elmundo.es, 06 Mar 2018; 20minutos.es, 04 Mar 2018)
