The athlete, also known for his social media influence, traveled to the island, where his wife has roots in Arguineguín. His objective was to film a segment for a sports supplement brand, featuring traditional sports from Spain.
Accompanied by his team, he went to the Ajódar wrestling ground in Gáldar. There, he not only filmed the program but also donned the wrestling attire to receive lessons from a local master. The bodybuilder attempted his first moves in this sport, learning about its history, techniques, and tricks.
“"We consider Canarian wrestling to be the quintessential Canarian sport. It is much more technical than it initially appears, and it requires a lot of training and repetition, repetition."
The athlete expressed surprise at the difficulty of Canarian wrestling, observing how a lighter wrestler can take down a larger opponent. This report will be shared with his thousands of followers, representing significant promotion for the traditional sport.
In addition to the technique, the bodybuilder highlighted the nobility and respect that characterize Canarian wrestling practitioners. He mentioned that, despite the sport's toughness, camaraderie and a positive atmosphere are aspects he greatly values.
On a personal note, the athlete announced his intention to move to the island with his wife, who has lived many years in Madrid. This visit to Gran Canaria is the third stop on his tour of Spain, after having been in Madrid and Bilbao.
