Every single day I went to sleep as a kid dreaming about crossing the finish line, being a Wolf G champion. And

00:00:06

that's no joke. Like that's it's just how it was. That was everything to me.

00:00:10

That's just my vision, my goal every day. And that doesn't just get handed to

00:00:14

you straight away. You have to persevere. And it takes 4 years. Four years to finally happen, especially

00:00:20

after winning that first World Cup. You know, it puts you on a pedestal. Sets your sights and everyone around you

00:00:25

really, really high. And in hindsight, I needed to win that first World Cup, but

00:00:29

it probably damaged me if not, you know, cuz it sets the standards very high. But

yeah, when I cross the finish line was just like relief and just almost just numb.
