‘People took a result that had not happened yet. I would be in the store with my mother and people would say: “We have tickets for the Olympic Games, we can’t wait to see you win your first gold medal,” he said.
“I couldn’t escape that part of it. Then it started to be hyped more and more. I was surrounded by it. ‘
