Montes became champion in Brazilian jiu-jitsu (brown belt, 70 kilos, Master category) and in grappling (no-gi wrestling, Master category, 70 kilos). He also won the silver medal as runner-up in the superfight, where he faced the black belt champion, and a bronze medal in the hyrox cross event, which combines running with gym exercises.
The championship brought together over 3,000 police officers and firefighters from more than 40 countries, competing in about fifty disciplines. Francisco José Montes, who works as a Team Leader at the Torrejón de Ardoz Fire Station, was one of the outstanding athletes of the competition.
“"From the Torrejón de Ardoz City Council, I want to congratulate our neighbor, Francisco José Montes, for being one of the outstanding athletes at the European Police and Firefighter Games and for bringing great honor to our city's Fire Station."
