Asked if he regretted coming to Tokyo he said:

“I do not regret coming or giving my all; how can I have regrets, it is normal when you are at the Olympic Games representing your country.

He also spoke about his Olympics quest revealing he will compete in Paris if all things go well:

“Three years… Not that far, but on the other hand it is, since I do not have 25 years anymore. I do not see the finish line of my career.

If I am there, I hope to win a medal“.
