“The Olympics is the pinnacle of my Sport and this has been like a dream that I have had since been a kid”
“Yeah like that, the Olympics you might only get a chance to do this once in your career, so I suppose with the injury like and been touch and go it was such a stressful time because obviously this is what I really wanted, so yeah now I am just so happy to be back on track again and I am just really looking forward to the experience and embracing the opportunity because it only comes around once every 4 years and I mean as an Athlete you might never get this opportunity again”
