PARTNERSHIP
He and his brother Diogo began competing together in 2012. "It is crucial to avoid too much contact outside of the boat when we are not training. We try not to spend too much time together. On the boat, the key is to believe the other is doing his best." (costassailing.pt, 2017; O Jogo, 24 Mar 2021)

STUDY BREAK
He put his civil engineering studies on hold to focus on his campaign for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (noticiasmagazine.pt, 14 Apr 2021)
