Sport Specific Information
Why this sport? His father, a former international fencer for Argentina, introduced him to the sport. "It is not easy to practise a sport that your parents and family did well. You feel a little pressure. When I was a kid I struggled with that. I played basketball instead up until I was 14. What I liked the most [about fencing] was the independence that it gives you. I struggled to compete as a member of a team. In basketball, the coach may not call you up for the next game. In fencing, if you qualify you go and compete."
When and where did you begin this sport? He began fencing at age 14.
