FIFTH OLYMPIC GAMES
The 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo will be his fifth Games, and he says his goal for Tokyo is to win a medal, having missed out on the podium at his previous four appearances. "A long time ago, after the second or third Olympic Games, I said that if I got a chance to compete in my fifth I will do a tattoo with Olympic rings and dates inside of each ring. Then it was a dream, now it is coming true. The Olympic medal, even a bronze, would crown all that I did in my entire life." (interia.pl, 16 Sep 2019)
