Badminton
Badminton is a sport that I used to play a lot at school and that I have always enjoyed for leisure. Between 2013 and 2017, I jumped to a competitive level after doing an intense preparation for the World Dwarf Games 2013. I would like to give special thanks to Club Bádminton Chamartín for their help during all these years.
Here is my short résumé:
- Silver medalist at the World Dwarf Games 2013 (class 1).
- Second place (disability class) at Campeonato de San Isidro 2013 an inclusive badminton competition organized by Club de Bádminton Chamartín in Madrid.

Paddle
Paddle is a sport that I practice every once in a while for fun. In 2012 I started training thanks to the association Padelamic. I play friendly matches with friends with and without disabilities and, up until 2016, I entered social tournaments at Club Natació Terrassa, among others. In 2016 I also won silver medal at the Catalan National Championships for Disabled People with my friend Carles Millera.
