“The first amazing thing is the Opening ceremonies, for both, Italy and here, because it’s like the Olympics I was never able to be in.”

The feeling an the atmosphere is just amazing. I’ ve never, even at the World Champs that I go to oversees, you just don’t get this bigger crowd, It’s really spectacular, it’s great.

“Sport is so important, because it keeps you sharp. I don’t just mean physically but mentally as well. Everybody gets stressed by different things in their life and just being able to get out there and exercise, getting rid of a little bit of that tension can help you mentally as well physically.”
