I had no doubt that the union would do anything to have a competition and I knew I could one day fulfill some of the dream. “After this difficult year that was especially difficult for me because at the beginning I thought it was all over, it shows that it is impossible to know what will happen. I hope I will be able to take advantage of it.”
