His personal best and junior world record with the 6 kg hammer, a throw of 82,96 m, was set in Madrid 17 June 2009. On 5 May 2012, he became the Spanish record holder with the senior weight hammer, which weighs 7,26 kg (16 lbs), after making a throw of 76,21 meters.{{Cite web|url=http://www.european-athletics.org/news/latest-news/496-general/11007-spanish-and-slovenian-hammer-records-for-cienfuegos-and-spiler.html|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120513062119/http://www.european-athletics.org/news/latest-news/496-general/11007-spanish-and-slovenian-hammer-records-for-cienfuegos-and-spiler.html|url-status=dead|title=Spanish and Slovenian hammer records for Cienfuegos and Spiler|archivedate=13 May 2012}} He established a new national record of 78.70 m at the Estadi Olímpic Camilo Cano of La Nucia, on 31 August 2019.
On 6 September 2019, he improved this record with a mark of 79.38 m.
Sports career
Cienfuegos's first international championship was the 2007 World Youth Championships in Athletics (u18) held in Ostrava, Czech Republic. He was 17 years old at the time, and he finished 8th with a throw of 64,04 m with the 5 kg hammer – a relatively poor result, as his personal best, set four months earlier, was 73,20 m. Ukrainian Andriy Martynyuk emerged victorious with a throw of 76,09 m.{{cite web |url=http://www.iaaf.org/history/WYC/season=2007/eventCode=3652/results/bydiscipline/disctype=4/sex=M/discCode=HTY/combCode=hash/timetable.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080303003042/http://www.iaaf.org/history/WYC/season=2007/eventCode=3652/results/bydiscipline/disctype=4/sex=M/discCode=HTY/combCode=hash/timetable.html |archive-date=2008-03-03 |title=iaaf.org - History}} Next year, his first year as a junior, he attended the 2008 World Junior Championships in Athletics (u20) in which he finished 12th in the final with a 65,93 m throw with the 6 kg hammer{{cite web |url=http://www.iaaf.org/wjc08/results/eventCode=3739/bydiscipline/disctype=4/sex=M/discCode=HTJ/combCode=hash/roundCode=f/results.html#det |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080719064819/http://www.iaaf.org/wjc08/results/eventCode=3739/bydiscipline/disctype=4/sex=M/discCode=HTJ/combCode=hash/roundCode=f/results.html |archive-date=2008-07-19 |title=iaaf.org - World Junior Championships in Athletics 2008 - Results Hammer Throw (6kg) M Final}} – also a relatively bad performance, his personal best at the time was 76,13 m, set three weeks earlier. Cienfuegos's nerves seemed to be the problem but the expectations only rose in 2009 when he beat Yevgeny Aydamirov's junior world record of 82,62 m and then set a new junior world record with his 82,96 m throw. After more international competition experience, as well as three throws beyond 80 meters, he seemed to have learned how to cope with the pressure. He won the ninth annual European Cup Winter Throwing Championship (u23 group B) with a 73,18 m performance (hammer weight = 7,26 kg).{{Cite web |date= |title=European Cup Winter Throwing - Los Realejos 2009 |url=http://www.losrealejos2009.com/listar-resultados.php?id=22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181002134733/http://www.losrealejos2009.com/listar-resultados.php?id=22 |archive-date=2018-10-02 |access-date=2024-06-17 |website=losrealejos2009.com}} He placed third (79,12 m) at the 2009 European Athletics Junior Championships behind youth World Champion from 2007, Ukrainian Andriy Martynyuk (79,54 m) and Hungarian Ákos Hudi (79,14 m) in one of history's toughest ever junior hammer competitions.{{Cite web |url=http://www.sportresult.com/sports/la/framework/eaa2.asp?event_id=10000100000095&ctype_id=7&module=competition&show=RL&lang=en |title=Swiss Timing - Swiss Timing}} Cienfuegos also attended the 2009 World Championships in Athletics and finished 13th in his qualifying group with a 72,01 performance (7,26 kg hammer).{{Cite web |url=http://berlin.iaaf.org/results/bydiscipline/disctype=4/sex=M/discCode=HT/combCode=hash/roundCode=q/results.html#detM_HT_hash_q |title=12th IAAF World Championships in Athletics - Berlin 2009 - Timetable/Results |access-date=2010-03-31 |archive-date=2009-08-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090821184822/http://berlin.iaaf.org/results/bydiscipline/disctype=4/sex=M/discCode=HT/combCode=hash/roundCode=q/results.html#detM_HT_hash_q |url-status=dead}}
