General
EVENT CHANGE
Ahead of the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, it was announced that only kayaks would be used in Para canoe events. He specialised in canoe events and was forced to change his boat and technique ahead of the Games but went on to win a bronze medal. "I received the news that the canoe, my speciality, my strongest event, would no longer be in the Games just one year and three months [ahead of the Games]. I had been working hard on the canoe for the past five years so I had to make an emergency change to the kayak which, although also a speed boat on the water, has a completely different technique, ranging from the paddle to the boat. It was very difficult but I did everything I could to stay focused and discipline to train even harder to be in the Paralympics." (agenciabrasil.ebc.com.br, 15 Sep 2016)
