He took up the sport at age nine. (Athlete, 25 Aug 2021)

"My brother practised athletics and I often accompanied him to attend his training sessions. This is where my passion for the discipline began. So I wasn't planning to become a professional athlete, it was only a hobby that developed into a profession. I really liked watching the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, which encouraged me to become an athlete and represent my country." (annasronline.com, 30 Oct 2016; dzinfos.com, 30 Sep 2016)
