Biography
Reason: He was inspired to take up triathlon after watching the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. "Everyone advised me against doing sports, and for a while I listened to what I was told. Then I returned, first taekwondo, then athletics. I had a friend in a wheelchair who I accompanied to races. Little by little I started training. I happened to see a Para triathlon competition on TV, it was the first time that the discipline had been admitted to the Paralympic Games. I fell in love immediately."
