00:00I mean, I've not really joined any small tournaments this year.
00:04I think I've chosen a lot of high-level competitions.
00:09It's been a very tough season for me.
00:15I think overall, I felt like I was just getting maybe two, three sessions.
00:22I would say three sessions before Olympics that I started to be able to stitch together
00:26myself and get kind of a good bearing of what I can do.
00:31And I think it definitely showed in the qualities, even in the final, the lack of consistency
00:40repetitions because of all these problems.
00:45Yeah, I can promise you guys I did everything that I can with all the circumstances I've
00:54dealt with and I'm definitely proud of what I've achieved.
01:01But like I said, it doesn't really lessen the disappointment and pain of coming in fourth.
01:12Every other Olympics 590 would have meddled.
01:17One miss at 580, that didn't even matter, cost me a podium finish.
01:25It is sport, it can be beautiful and brutal at the same time.
