My life was very Japanese.
I like golf, hiking, camping, boating and fishing.
For so long I wanted to win the gold medal.Then I won. I had to figure out what was the new motivation to take myself to that place again.
We have to lie to ourselves as decathletes and say that we like all ten events.
I don't think anyone chooses the decathlon as much as it chooses you.
It's not easy waking up every single morning knowing what you're going to put your body through and having to do it. We don't have days off.
