RETIREMENT AND COMEBACK
In September 2018 he announced his retirement from the sport. "At 25 I decided to end my career in competition. Some may say it's early to stop but it was hard for me to take pleasure in the last few months." However he returned less than four months later and in April 2019 he claimed a qualifying quota for the 2019 World Championships in Gwangju, Republic of Korea. "I felt again things that I hadn't for a long time. It's really a new start for me. They were two years in which I could not improve. I was not coming back with a good level. I have completely changed my way of thinking and now I am more complete than before. I was confined in a routine, I didn't think anything other than swimming. Now it's quite the opposite and I had never felt that good. There isn't anything more than happiness by swimming. I swim and I enjoy it. That's a feeling that I had lost since quite some time."
