In His Words

How was your start in athletics?
I was a little overweight, it was that one day I decided to go jogging and run 1 or 2 hours a day, without knowing the distances I covered. One day a friend invited me to a race and for my first participation it was excellent. It was when I discovered that with more effort and discipline something better could be achieved.

What do you like about athletics?
Mainly meeting new friends places. It is an individual sport that I can practice when I can and at the time I want.

Tell us your best memory of your sports career
Winning the 2015 Mexico City International Marathon, entering the CU Olympic Stadium, full of people, and knowing that I was in 1st place in my category and with a new record, was an indescribable feeling.

Sports goals
