Start sporting career
He took up the sport at age five at the UCK-NEF Vannes club in France.
Reason for taking up the sport
He followed his sister into the sport. He used to practise karate but he was hooked by the feeling of flying on a trampoline. "My mum took me to UCK-NEF at age five, and I quickly fell in love with the sport. I progressed thanks to [coach] Max Gallo, and today the trampoline is my profession."
Ambitions
To win gold at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. (ouest-france.fr, 16 Feb 2021)
Trainings
He trains 15-20 hours per week at the national training hub in Antibes, France.
Additional information
OLYMPIC AMBITIONS
He served as a reserve for France's trampoline team at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. He travelled to Japan with the team, but was not called up to compete. "Because of the COVID restrictions, I had to stay in my hotel for five days, and I actually ended up going home even before the trampoline event started. Of course, [the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris] is the ultimate objective of my career. It is what motivates me. It's why I train every day. I hope by this stage [2024] to be a leader within the French team. To be on the podium and hear the national anthem would be so nice."
