I am honestly happy to be able to participate in the Olympics held in my country as an athlete.
I had a frustrating experience five years ago, but since then I have been able to come this far with the support of many people. The onslaught of the coronavirus is enormous, but I will face what I can do now and prepare for the coming day with no regrets. Thank you for your support.
