Then, he said in a short video posted later at the airport: “We're going to take off for Doha soon.
It's been a year since my last trip to a tournament and I can tell you I'm very excited.
It has been a long and difficult road.
There is still work to be done but I feel that I am doing well, I am training very well, and I feel pumped up. "
