"There are no bad athletes in the Olympics. The top two or five are really good, but I'm aldo good and I'm aware of that. I think I can analyse my opponents and win the competition. Let's see what I can do," said Reçber.

Winning gold at the World Championships has boosted the confidence of the athletes. "Along with the bronze, it was one of the most important medals of my career. I've once again proved to the world and to myself how good I am," added the Turkish athlete.

"Going into the Olympics with this motivation is really great. I'm happy to have won this medal. Now, I'm going to the Olympics knowing and understanding myself. I don't think this time it will be like Tokyo this time; this time, I will win the gold medal, hopefully," he said. Reçber will compete in the 68 kg weight category.
