His first successful international performance was in 2006, when he won the gold medal in C-1 1000 m and the silver medal in C-1 500 m at the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games.[1] Later the same year, at the world championships, he surprisingly won the gold medal at C-1 1000 m, becoming the first Mexican to ever do this, defeating race favorite and Olympic medallist Andreas Dittmer, who finished second.[2] For such performance he received the Premio Nacional del Deporte (National Sports Award), which is awarded annually by the Mexican Sports Committee (CONADE - in Spanish).[3] In 2007, he won the gold medal both in C-1 500 m and C-1 1000 m at the 2007 Pan American Games.[4][5]
Cristóbal competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing in three events (C-1 1000 m, C-2 500 m, and C-2 1000 m), but was eliminated in the semifinal round in each event. His best finish was sixth in the C-1 1000 m semifinal. At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he competed in two events, the C-1 200 m and the C-1 1000 m, finishing in 20th and 10th positions, respectively.
