WORLD CHAMPS WITHDRAWAL
In December 2020 he announced his withdrawal from the 2021 World Championship in Egypt, citing safety concerns around the CODID-19 pandemic and his family. He had previously tested positive for the COVID-19 virus in November 2020. "There are simply family reasons, which of course are also related to the pandemic. In any case I didn't want to be separated from my family for such a long period of time. The fact is that it was important that I stay home in the pandemic and could not travel to Egypt."
