RETIREMENT PLANS
He plans to retire from the sport after the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "If everything goes well, the sixth [of August 2020] will be the last day I put on the pads. I've set that limit so my motivation is really high because I have a date and I want to take advantage of each day as if it were my last. I don't know what will happen in September because life takes many twists and turns, but it looks like the sixth [of August] will be my last day after 20 years. I think it's enough, I'm happy and I'm having fun, but next year I'll have to do other things." (efe.com, 02 Jan 2020)
