SWITCH TO ICE
He took up long track speed skating in 2019. "[I discovered on-ice speed skating] during a short track introduction course alongside my coach. I really liked it but I told myself that I would be more keen to practise long track speed skating because it is more similar to roller speed skating. And that was the same route that [French speed skater] Alexis [Contin] had followed. So I think it was obvious." (ouest-france.fr, 07 Apr 2022)
