TRAGEDY
In July 2015 his girlfriend Aldana Carraro, also a gymnast, passed away and he almost quit the sport. He had problems getting to sleep and did not resume full training until January 2016. "After what happened I almost stepped away from the sport, but I decided to give it a second chance. Something I learnt from Aldy [Aldana] is to never give up. I struggled with many emotions, but I felt every day that she was giving me a little bit more of strength to face the next journey." (deporteargentinoplus.com, 22 Nov 2016)
