The Uplift Weightlifting Gym founder and 2022 Commonwealth Games silver medallist doesn’t mind putting up with the “bland” Olympic Village food this week since he is fully focused on doing his best when he competes in the 89kg class on Friday at 11pm (Sydney time).
“The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) is really looking after all the athletes, my bed is comfy and I’ve been enjoying being a full-time athlete,” he said.
“I’m here for the amazing challenge but not expecting to medal; I would be ecstatic with a top 10 performance as the Olympics is versing the best of the best in the world compared with lifting against just Commonwealth nations but you never know.”
