The Olympics is a special event and winning is very important. For me as a world record holder and world champion, the only thing I am missing is the Olympic gold medal and that is what I want to achieve in my career.

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.

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

Winning is very important to me. I wouldn't be happy with anything less. And I work towards my goal.

I'm at the point in my career where to be a winner is more important than any individual things.

The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.

This gold medal, to me, is a very good outcome from the many years I've spent on my professional career.

I'm a guy who wins medals rather than runs fast times, so for me, what keeps me going is winning medals for my country and making my nation proud.

For me, it is important to win titles and for that I need to work hard, stay healthy and be able to compete. The rest, I always say, it comes.
