Expectations for Rio: I want to continue my medal hunt from the previous London Olympics.

To me, I feel like I have already won regardless of the outcome especially after returning from that devastating knee injury back in the 2012 Olympics.

Again, my goal is to get pass the qualifying round, then try my best through God to bring home a medal for my country.
