And that's totally the wrong attitude. It's just not good for going into an Olympic Games. And so I was coming in there with a different mindset. And I remember... Every match that I had, I was winning well, but I was winning with a struggle. I'd fought Novak, and I was pretty of France, who was one of the strongest physically. That was in the quarterfinals. I beat Brett Barron by an Ippon.

I armlocked him. I... won my first match by Ipon as well. And then Michel Novak, I was fighting a France and I was lucky to win it. I was up, I would scored on him, but I was like starting to defend and just everything that I talked to you about, you know, and then just about held on and then I won. And, you know, so him and I were talking afterwards, like some years afterwards.

I'd never gone time with him. You know, I'd never, I'd always beaten him fairly easily and with by upon. And that went time. So I was, you know, I was just, just glad to get it done.
