General Interest

TOKYO REDEMPTION
After finishing fourth at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, he has set his sights on winning a medal at the 2020 Games in Tokyo. He also says the one-year postponement of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo was a positive decision for him as his daughter Florence was born in July 2020, which could have affected his participation at the Games. "I was pretty ecstatic when it got cancelled. It was a terrible coincidence for the baby to come during the Olympics. Now it's all good. It's still one of the biggest disappointments in my career so far, that fourth place. It still hurts when I think about. Just being able to win a medal would have been something, I didn't care what colour. It puts you in your country's history books." (reuters.com, 07 Jul 2020; Instagram profile, 05 Aug 2020)
