He took part in the 2012 European Championships and the 2013 European and 2013 World Championships. In the 2013–14 season Spain created a surprise by defeating favourites France in the quarter-finals, then Russia in the semi-finals. They lost to Switzerland in the final and took a silver medal, Spain's first continental podium since Jorge Pina's gold medal at Gand 2007.[3]
