He competes in men's lightweight double sculls with Manuel Belastegui. They were paired together in March 2021 after Rodrigo Conde, who had won the quota spot for Spain with Belastegui, stepped down from competing after experiencing problems meeting the required weight. "There has been good chemistry [between him and Belastegui] from the first moment. We are both very young and that eases the process for us to get along well."
