CHAMPIONS
2 23

1. In preparing for the competition
each year, I constantly questioned
myself to ensure that I was giving
my best effort and to prevent any
complacency or laziness from
creeping in. I made a conscious
effort to reflect on whether I was
performing better than before and
consistently asked myself if I was
maintaining the level of dedication
needed for success. With daily
workouts and dietary adjustments,
I strived to prepare in a way that
would leave no room for regrets,
believing that, as an athlete, it is
crucial to always showcase the
best version of oneself on stage
rather than settling for subpar
performances both physically and
mentally.
2. Last year, I won first place in the
Games Classic Bodybuilding at
the World Championships, but
unfortunately, I faced elimination
in the preliminary round of
Classic Bodybuilding. Using the
disappointment from last year
as a driving force, I identified the
areas for improvement. Throughout
the year, I trained rigorously and
prepared diligently to compete in
the 2023 World Championships.
This dedication allowed me to
step onto the stage with a better
physique than last year, achieving
more favorable results.
3. I believe that in bodybuilding, as
well as in all sports, there are no
results without effort and no luck.
The outcome of competitions and
contests begins after stepping off
the stage. If you passionately aspire
to your dream and continuously
strive to achieve it, you will
eventually succeed.
