This competition brought together 350 athletes from twenty countries in Europe and Asia. Upon his arrival, he was assigned the management of the officials of the call room, control cameras and access to the male weigh-in, ie eight people. This responsibility allowed him to discover behind the scenes of an international competition while having to ensure strict and rigorous respect for the rules and standards in this type of competition. This role gave him the opportunity to consolidate his English by talking with athletes, coaches and the head of the EJU in this sector. A great experience for him.
