One of his neighbours convinced him to go with her to the ice rink and try short track. "I love speed and adrenaline. I really like individual sport, because everything is in my hands and legs." He switched from short track to speed skating in 2015. "At some point I stopped enjoying short track. The 111 metre track was too short for me to spread my wings. I didn't qualify for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games so I decided to give up [short track]."
