Unfortunately the wonderful career of this athlete was clouded by many injuries since autumn 2013. Last year he was then back in the ring for a short time, but after the Global Champions Grand Prix of Estoril 2014 he was again forced to pause.
His comeback he will -hopefully- make next week in Vilamoura (POR). To H&H Skelton said that Big Star will start off with some smaller classes because he wasn’t on a show for the last 16 months.
