My amazing dream is over!

8 years of dreaming and training to reach my goal has come to an end!

I have said it before and I will say it again... I have been privileged to have had the opportunity to be able to participate in the Olympic Games. It has been a long road but every second of training, sacrifices and dedication has all been worth it!

Although we didn't do well as a team, we gave it our best shot and we have no regrets.
Personally, I was pretty happy with my performances but the disappointment of not finishing higher is still very much there.

Many people have helped me over the years to realize my dream and I thank each one of you (you all know who you are…)!

Also, all the support I got from family, friends and strangers has not gone un-noticed… I thank you all very very much!!!

I'm proud to call myself an Olympian!

Implementation of solar energy has environmental costs that may hamper its application on large-scale operations to reduce its impact. The much talked about drawback, the lack of evenly distributed light in LED lamps too has been now satisfactorily sorted out by Sharp with their proprietary coating technique of the glass enclosure.
