The ranks of the "Ruster® Crew" continue to grow. We continue to bet on athletes with great potential.
Just over a month ago we presented Javi González, a 25-year-old sportsman who is becoming a benchmark in our country. Today we present our young promise, Dani Merlos, a boy from Jaen who, at just 16 years old, has just achieved 3rd place in the Gods Throwdown in Murcia, an event that took place last weekend and which was attended by 1300 athletes. His record also includes a 5th place in Spain and 18th in Europe at the Open 2018.
Dani tells us that since childhood he loved sports. "I tried swimming, basketball and mountain biking, but none of them ever filled me, but I was always the most competitive of them all." Crossfit came into his life at the age of 14, when a friend encouraged him to try it. "The same day I spent all day reading and watching videos, and shortly afterwards I joined a stage. I knew right away that this sport was for me".
What characterizes him most is his desire to take care of every detail. He currently trains at Crossfit Santo Reino (Jaén). He is a very perfectionist athlete in terms of technique and the organisation of his training. "The more demanding the training, the more I likeit".
"My goal is to start competing on a national level, and then focus on the international ones and the Open as the mainone.I would like to continue to practice CrossFit for many years and fight for a place in the Regionals. I want to study and be a firefighter first".
Dani will also be part of the "Ruster Scholarships", which try to help athletes like him through training programs like "The Pulse Program".
