I want to compete in the next Olympics. If I go to Rio, it will be my third time, which is a rare feat for an Indian athlete. For me, Olympics is important because it's the biggest event on earth for a sports person. I hope this time around I come back with a medal.

The Olympics is about showing what you've done with your life, your dream as an athlete and sharing that with the world.

For any athlete growing up, the Olympics is the one thing you watch with your family, and it's the one thing you dream about. Seeing your country's flag go up as you get a gold medal is the best thing you can achieve.

I always said I wanted an Olympic medal. It's the pinnacle of any athlete's career.

I hope I can compete in one or two Olympics in my career. Of course I would like to win a medal, but just being there would be awesome.

Becoming an Olympian is the ultimate reward for any athlete.

One of my goals is to play the Olympics in 2016. If you're able to represent your country in the Olympics everyone will understand you as a player and not many people do get to go to the Olympics.

You hit one level of the sport, and then you want to get to the next level. Until, eventually, the Olympics becomes part of that dream, part of that goal set and the mindset of wanting to get there. And then you realize there's so much incredible hard work and determination and effort that you need to put in along the way.

My goal is one Olympic gold medal. Not many people in this world can say, 'I'm an Olympic gold medalist.'

To be part of something special, to be an Olympian and have the chance to win a medal - it's an amazing feeling.
