note
Despite being a Zootechny
graduate, after working as a
technical assistant for Brazil at the
Athens Olympic Games in 2004 he
moved to Europe to dedicate
himself exclusively to the sport
modality. He began riding at the
age of 4 encouraged by his father
Hugo Tosi, a former horseman.
The loss of the horse Super Rocky
due to fulminating colic in 2009 is
among the most difficult times of
his career. In Beijing he was the
only Brazilian horseman to qualify
for the individual final.
