I’m feeling quite good about commonwealth games. I’m excited about the whole thing. My main goal is to get a medal at the games. And also to go out there to represent my country and give my all. I’m a kingdom ambassador, so I’m not going to do it for myself and country but also my God for the talent and opportunity Hiss giving me to compete at a higher level.
