Deferr started in gymnastics at the age of five. He considered floor exercise as his favorite event and has had some success in major competitions. He finished in second place with the silver medal on floor at the 1999 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships with a score of 9.750 points, which he repeated eight years later with another silver medal at the 2007 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, as well as many medals in the same apparatus in the Gymnastics World Cup, between them: World Cup 2000 in Ljubljana, Slovenia — 9.688 points (silver), or World Cup 2001 in Paris, France — 9.625 points (gold).[1] He also finished second at the 2002 World Championships on floor exercise but the medal was taken away after he tested positive for marijuana.
In January 2011, Deferr announced his retirement.[citation needed]
A curious aspect of Deferr's personality is his stating that he considers sleeping a hobby. He also has an iguana as a pet and likes Japanese and Korean cultures. He even appeared on the Japanese game show Sasuke (Ninja Warrior in the United States), but failed to complete the first stage, being unable to make it over the 15 foot wall.[citation needed]
