HIGH DIVING PLAN
In 2020 he spoke of his intention to begin competing in high diving. "[High diving] gives me a boost of adrenaline. Since I was a young boy I have always been thrilled of jumping from high heights, that's why I dive from the 10m platform. I never wanted to do another event because it's the highest."
