Career

Rosello won the 2007 Cadet European Championships in Novi Sad and the 2007 Cadet World Championships in Belek.[1] The year after he earned a bronze medal at the 2008 Junior World Championships.[2] These results caused him to be selected into the Spanish épée national team. He took part in the 2012 European Championships and the 2013 European and 2013 World Championships. In the 2013–14 season Spain created a surprise by defeating favourites France in the quarter-finals, then Russia in the semi-finals. They lost to Switzerland in the final and took a silver medal, Spain's first continental podium since Jorge Pina's gold medal at Gand 2007.[3]

Rosello graduated in computer science from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia and the Technical University of Madrid. With fellow high-level épée fencer Sergio Baldrés he founded Insignia Esgrima SCP, a fencing kit supplier that kits out the Spanish national fencing team.

gollark: I was hoping to be able to get a nice hybrid (risen/setsong, carina) for one of them, but nooo...
gollark: *is egglocked with hightime kindofrare stuff*
gollark: Do hatchlings actually suffer from sickness much?
gollark: I'm pretty sure it wasn't an accident, since I do not typically go onto four hatcheries and check "add all".
gollark: I wonder who viewbombed me, and why they did it so poorly.
