He competes in long-distance running events, mostly cross country and marathon and has been coached by Martín Fiz,[2] and Santi Pérez.[3] A video went viral in January 2013 capturing the moment when Fernández realized that Abel Mutai had misunderstood the signage, and shoved him forward towards the finish line at the Burlada Cross Country race, rather than passing Mutai and winning the race himself. He was globally praised for his sportsmanship.[4][5][6]
