His higher level breakthrough however began in 2017, when he started campaigning Lusitano-bred Fogoso. Torres and Fogoso were named reserve for the Portuguese team for the 2018 World Equestrian Games, but when a spot opened up Torres declined to go as he felt Fogoso was too young at age eight.[4][5]

Torres placed 24th individually, and in the process helped Portugal achieve a team qualification for the 2020 Summer Olympics.
