RIO EXPERIENCE
He made his Olympic debut at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, where he placed 17th in the individual competition. "I'd say the biggest thing that came out of Rio was maturity. I've now got an awful lot of experience and understanding of how I respond to situations and manage myself both physically and emotionally. The lessons I've learned from Rio and the five years of competing since then will help me go in and really deliver a world-beating performance [at Tokyo 2020]." (belfasttelegraph.co.uk, 18 May 2021)
