To all my fans who planned to come to the Future History World tour, the pain of letting you down cuts me way deeper than this injury I've sustained.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you have an injury, you are hindered a little bit.
Coping with injuries is always difficult for athletes because all we want to do is, basically, to have our best performances unhindered.
What I want for my fans and for the world, for anyone who feels pain, is to lean into that pain and embrace it as much as they can and begin the healing process.
Injuries is a part of a sportsmen life; you have to live with it. You can't be down with that; it is not gonna help you.
It's always hard to deal with injuries mentally, but I like to think about it as a new beginning. I can't change what happened, so the focus needs to go toward healing and coming back stronger than before.
I appreciate very much being injury-free.
I had to face a lot coming through this journey, a lot of sacrifices, difficulties, challenges, and injuries.
I was hurting. I had some ailments I was dealing with. It's not like I was holding out.
It hurts every day when you practice hard, but when this decathlon is over, I got the rest of my life to recuperate. Who cares how bad it hurts?
I never had a serious injury that kept me out of a big competition. Now everyone has injuries - to their feet or their knees or their backs.
