Finishing fourth is not good
Samir Aït Said
“
It's sadness and disappointment. I worked hard and it didn't pay off,
breathed the gymnast who had broken his leg in Rio five years earlier
. Three days ago I heard a click in my biceps, I must have let go of the rings straight away. I had to forfeit because I couldn't get on the rings. I am sorry. Something always has to happen to me… I'm going to do some exams. But finishing fourth is not good. I have no excuse, it doesn't suit me
. "
