The results may or may not come because we will also have to see how the rivals will be but I I will be satisfied if, despite not getting the Championship again, I am back to the maximum. "

I tried in Rio so my objective will be the same, to get in the best conditions to Tokyo if I won the right to compete there.From there, I can control my work but I can not control the rest. get the best of it and be in a position to fight for the medals. "
