OLYMPIC DREAM
He missed out on the 2012 Olympic Games in London due to his age, but went on to win a bronze medal at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro. "I dreamed of coming to the Olympic Games since I watched a competition on television in 2008 and set that objective. Four years later, I was already a youth champion but I couldn't go to London because of my age. I missed the cut-off age [19] by a year, so I had to wait for Rio [in 2016]. When you stand on the [Olympic] podium and look back, you realise that everything is worth it." (olympics.com, 18 Oct 2019)
