LONDON 2012 INSPIRATION
He set his Olympic goals watching the 2012 Olympic Games in London. "In 2012, when I watched the Olympic Games on TV, following swimming events, I promised myself that one day I will compete at the Olympic Games. It's not only about competing, I wish to progress at least to the semifinals. I promised this to myself and I do my best to make it come true. If I have another Olympic opportunity, my Olympic goals will be even higher." (azs.pl, 12 Mar 2019)
