Additional Information

Start of sporting career
He began biathlon in 2011, after retiring from winter triathlons due to incompatibilities with his work schedule. (elperiodicodearagon.com, 15 Mar 2013)

Training
"I go to my job by roller skis almost every day, 10km there and 10km back. I made my own roller skis very similar to skis. I do shooting training two days a week in a camp in Huesca [Spain], and run to increase my heart rate." (ONS, 07 Feb 2014)

General
BIATHLON AS A HOBBY
He fits his biathlon career around his work schedule, using his work holidays to compete at events. "I organise my trips and hotels, and I pay for them myself. I buy my skis, poles, waxes, rifle, and ammunition. I test and prepare my skis for the competitions, but it is not hard. It is like a hobby for me." (ONS, 07 Feb 2014)

WORLD CUP DEBUT
He made his World Cup debut in January 2014 in Oberhof, Germany. (biathlonworld.com, 2014)
