Biography:
As a kid I practised several sports over the years. I used to play football and do swimming, judo and athletics. I got into Multisport at the age of 19 because a friend of mine did triathlon. At the moment I focus on Olympic Distance triathlon but I'm slowly switching to Long Distance triathlon. I'm in love with the sport and its diversity. I love the outdoors and especially the mountains. Since joining SCOTT sports last year I hit the trails now and then and like to go on an adventure and chase my dreams along the way.
