Your dad too was a top class skyrunner. Who is the best between you and him?
It's very hard question, there are two eras, before my father trained and he worked with few sponsors, he tryed to do the best he did the best like father,worker, athlete, my coach,with few support, and he did very good result in the several races, he is an excellente person in general, and now I have the opportunity to run more professional, more concentrated in my goals with all father's experience.
