Start sporting career
He took up the sport at age eight.
Reason for taking up the sport
"It was strange taking up gymnastics because I always liked football and played it. One day my cousin started going to the gym and I had stopped playing football so my grandparents asked me if I wanted to try something different. The first time I went I saw the mats, the kids doing flips and I decided to continue."

To compete at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. (3200deportes YouTube channel, 23 Sep 2022)
