Fi tmiem is-sena 2020, irrtorna fl-atletika u ipprova jikkombina il-kapaċitajiet tiegħu fil-ġinnastika, li baqa’ jipprattika flimkien mal-atletika. B’hekk l-għażla naturali tiegħu kienet li jagħżel il-Pole Vault, fejn fi ftit ġimgħat bl-għajuna tal-kowċ Bulgaru u eks Pole Vaulter Mr Jivko Jetev, kiseb record nazzjonali ta’ taħt is-16-il sena fl-ewwel kompetizzjoni tiegħu.
