00:00For me, it means a lot.
00:03As I've always said,
00:05if you win a medal in an Olympic Games,
00:08winning three, four, five medals is phenomenal.
00:11It's a way of showing
00:15all the sacrifices you make
00:17and the effort you put in to achieve those triumphs.
00:20With a lot of service, work and training,
00:24I think I've given my best
00:29in my sporting career.
00:31And I think that the same training sessions,
00:34the same fights I had with the younger contenders,
00:39made me think it was time to say goodbye
00:42to the mattress of fighting.
00:43And what better opportunity than this
00:47to be in a final.
