In two thousand eight, Edward made his debut at the World Junior Championships, where he finished in sixth place, marking the beginning of a promising career. The following year, he experienced a remarkable breakthrough, setting national records in both the 100 meters and 200 meters in May, and triumphing in both events at the South American Championships in Athletics.
