When I was 20, journalists would ask me what I would do when I retire from waterpolo. For me this is not just a five- or ten-year-period in my life. This is life itself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wouldn't know how to retire.
I wouldn't change my life for anything. I am exactly where I want to be and have no plans to ever retire.
I wouldn't know what to do retiring. So I have no plans to retire.
Actually, I wanted to become a journalist, but no matter who I imagined myself to be in the future, somehow I was sure: I would leave my hometown. I felt it was my destiny.
Waterpolo is my life. Our relationship is that of predetermination I'll never be better at anything than waterpolo and that is why it is my duty to pursue this sport as long as I can, and to the best of my abilities.
I wanted to be a journalist, I thought it was glamorous and that I'd meet beautiful women in the rain.
The only time I ever really consider retiring is when I get fed up with the press. Which is often.
I became a journalist partly so that I wouldn't ever have to rely on the press for my information.
People retire to do what I do every day.
I thought I was going to retire at 20, and I was going to be a surgeon.
