00:00 I think we all had the same dream since we were a little kid to be an Olympian and for myself,

00:05 it's the one thing that I always wanted to achieve and I was very lucky enough to go to the Rio 2016 Olympics and achieve my dream.

00:12 For myself to be able to wear this jacket, to put on this colour, to represent my country means the world to me.

00:18 It's all the sacrifice that I do for myself and what my family has done for me to get me here.

00:23 It just means everything to me and I think when you really start to think deeply about it,

00:29 it just makes you who you are. It's something that you've always wanted to achieve and it's ingrained in you

00:35 and to represent your country is one of the best things that you could ever do.

00:39 So I feel so grateful today to put this on to help inspire me to make sure I get that ticket in a month.
