"Looking forward to the challenge" says Murray on defending his gold from 2016

Andy Murray won the Gold Medal at the 2016 Olympic Games and the Brit will once again participate in 2020 trying to defend it.

Andy Murray has been selected as part of the Great Britain and Northern Ireland Olympic Team for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Murray has been one of the most successful tennis players at the Olympics in recent memory winning two gold medals (2012, 2016). Now he is going for a third and speaking on that he said:

“The Olympics means a huge amount to me, it’s a massive honour to be able to compete at a fourth Games. Leading Team GB out at the Opening Ceremony five years ago in Rio was one of the highlights of my career."

The last time Murray entered the Olympics as the defending champion he was able to win it again and when asked about it he said:

“Going to a second Olympics as defending champion is exciting and I’m looking forward to the challenge.”
