He’s been running since he was 10 and after a five-years stop, Cristiano was back to trainings and competitions in 2007. Portuguese people have a saying – ‘who runs for pleasure never stops’ – and that is definitely Cristiano’s motto.

He gives his best in everything he does. Maybe that’s ‘Pinga’s’ secret. Alongside his coach Jotta, he is constantly looking for ways to break his own record and maybe to achieve a top place amongst Portuguese best athletes.

Currently, he is the top 5 Outdoor 800m athlete with a 1,52,90 mark. Below, you’ll find some of his achievements:
