In 2008 he was the Champion of the world, and in 2009 of Europe.
In 2011 he occupied the 2nd place in the category of Masters in the "Arnold Classic Amateur".
Just very recently he went to Hungary to represent Portugal.

To those who expect to see mulattoes, ethnic Portuguese Madeirans look like mainlanders so if you are expecting them to look like lighter versions of Cape Verdeans you will be disappointed.

For those of you who live in the continent. How much were you taught in school about the islands? I read somewhere that the Azores and Madeira were kind of lumped in with colonies.

We are taught how many the islands are, their cities etc. Which is something we are not taught about Brazil or Angola. So no, they aren't lumped with the ex-colonies.

But there can be no denying that there is a higher amount of West African present in Madeira than in mainland Portugal or the Azores. It may be a very small amount but it is there.
