When did you start orienteering? I started orienteering when I was a child, my family introduced me to the sport with club trainings and races. I started competing in the lowest classes when I was able to start orienteering by myself.

How did you got in contact with Snättringe SK? Two years ago I ran for first time in a nordic terrain, since that time I have wanted to train and compete there and I knew that the best way was to join a nordic club. After thinking about what was better for me I found out that Snättringe was the perfect club for me.

What is your favorite terrain? I don’t have a specific favorite terrain but I enjoy very much running in Urbassa, Spain, or some maps in Tampere, Finland.

What is your goal in Orienteering? For the moment I don’t have any clear objective at long term. I want to get better and get more experience in different terrains to enjoy orienteering in a high level and maybe sometime compete in some worldcup or WOC. A closer objective is next years JWOC in Sweden.

As you know, you are not the first Spanish runner joining Snättringe. What is something we still need to learn about Spain? What is something special about the region you come from? I think that the spanish runners that you already know probably have taught you all the important things. But something is that at least in my region is very difficult to find a good mapbecause of the vegetation.

Mark your favorites:

Sprint, Middle, Long or Ultralong

Day or Night

Relay or Individual? I couldn’t choose, they are both very interesting and have different attractive points.

Flat or Steep? I enjoy it very much flat terrains but I think that is probably because is very difficult to find terrains like that in my region.
