Every single day I went to sleep as a
00:00:02
kid dreaming about crossing the finish
00:00:05
line, being a Wolf G champion. And
00:00:06
that's no joke. Like that's it's just
00:00:08
how it was. That was everything to me.
00:00:10
That's just my vision, my goal every
00:00:12
day. And that doesn't just get handed to
00:00:14
you straight away. You have to
00:00:15
persevere. And it takes 4 years. Four
00:00:18
years to finally happen, especially
00:00:20
after winning that first World Cup. You
00:00:21
know, it puts you on a pedestal. Sets
00:00:23
your sights and everyone around you
00:00:25
really, really high. And in hindsight, I
00:00:27
needed to win that first World Cup, but
00:00:29
it probably damaged me if not, you know,
00:00:31
cuz it sets the standards very high. But
00:00:34
yeah, when I cross the finish line was
00:00:35
just like relief and just
00:00:38
almost just numb.
