Biography
He is the “Speedy Gonzales” of sport climbing. For him, 2023 will be a year to remember: at just 21 years of age, in Bern, he first broke the European record (improved to 4.97 in July 2024) and then won the title of Speed World Champion. He began practising the discipline when he was just five years old, encouraged by his father, first on rock then indoors, moving on from bouldering and lead, and then dedicating himself solely to speed. And in just three years he has climbed the ranks. A second year student of Sports Science, a fan of Marvel movies and Stephen King novels, he is ready to write his own story in Paris 2024.
