He earned a gold medal in the downhill event while skiing with Gorce.[4] He was the only Spaniard at the competition who had not competed at the 2010 Winter Paralympics.[5] In December 2010, he competed in the second stage of the European Cup with Gorce at a competition in Austria. The pair earned an eighth and eleventh-place finish, and a DNF in the slalom event.[6] He skied with Gorce again at a January 2011 World Cup event. This one was held in Arta Terme, Italy.
