What did he say on the Road to Paris show?
“The most important thing is the current form and the confidence you have in yourself. I am not a very strong athlete from a physical point of view.
The desire is very strong to win any match. There are days when you can concentrate better but also harder days. I thought of calling on the help of a psychologist, for now it remains in the plan. There is no ritual on the day of a confrontation.
I then try to concentrate on the official scale, it’s 8 in the morning. I lose about 3 kilos before the competition. I don’t think it’s hard because I love everything I do. When you win a medal or a match, all these sacrifices no longer mean anything,” said the athlete on the Road to Paris show.
