“I receive this with pleasure and joy. It is recognition of several years dedicated to sport with soul, heart and demeanor. I think people recognize these values and principles. As I had some influence in projecting the sport to the highest level, these moments are always an honor. It is recognition of several years of sacrifice and, above all, tremendous courage and belief that I was going to be an Olympic champion. It was worth it,”
