Although many things have passed and I won’t have it, I have a medal to prove myself. Sadly, I haven’t felt like a champion. , did not get the halo of the Olympic champion, although the halo is temporary, but the halo of that moment I want to have, I did not get my own value that I might get, but the past has passed, and I still work hard to get it.”
