DELAYED RETIREMENT
After initially indicating the 2020 season would be his last, he postponed his retirement by a year following the rescheduling of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "I stated it [2020] would be my last season, but it can't end like this. It won't be easy but I will try [to compete for another year]. I have to try and I'm sure I won't regret it. All the good work done to date will pay off, so Tokyo, see you next year." (Instagram profile, 08 November 2019; Facebook profile, 24 Mar 2020)
