In April 2012, he took part in the Olympic qualification tournament in Sofia in the weight class up to 66 kg and came in 7th after victories over Andrei Stadnik from Ukraine and Andreas Trantafylidis from Greece and a defeat against Martin Daum from Germany.

His next start at an international championship took place in March 2015. At the U23 European Championships in Wałbrzych he came in the weight class up to 65 kg after three battles won in the final, in which he lost against Frank Chamizo Marquez from Italy and thus won the silver medal.

However, he got this starting place at the last qualification tournament in April 2016 in Ulan Baatar. He finished here behind the Russian Adam Batirow , who started for Bahrain, in 2nd place, which entitled him to start in Rio. At the Olympic wrestling tournament in Rio de Janeiro, however, he had no luck in the weight class up to 65 kg, because he had won a fight in the 2nd round against the reigning world champion of 2015 Frank Chamizo Marquez , against whom he lost.
