In June 2021, he set a new national record under-20 with 5.72m in Salon-de-Provence.[1] The following month, he won the gold medal at the U20 European championships in Tallinn with a jump of 5.64m.[2]
During the U20 world championships in Cali, he became world champion with a jump of 5.65m at his second attempt. He then improved his personal best with 5.75m.
