"I did some research on the admiral after watching the film, and I learned that he once said, 'You're certain to live if you fight to die, and you're certain to die if you fight to live'. My mindset going into the Incheon Asian Games is that I can get the job done if I battle to die."

"At the Olympics, I used to get really tense from the crowd noise and lighting inside the arena, but now I am able to enjoy it."
