Paving The Way To Glory
Rhodict is carrying the pride of the whole nation on his back — and we're all rooting for him at the upcoming Games.
In His Words
On Top Of The World
"With my set of dives, being able to qualify with just that, it’s quite challenging to be able to qualify. But I managed to achieve it, and qualify. I have to execute it well to be able to qualify for the Olympics — and I did".
Riding The Waves
"I’d say my greatest strength is probably in my back and reverse dives. I’ve never failed to execute those well, even during competitions. Or if I do fail, the percentage is very low".
To Believe It Is To See It Through
"I think the key to every person’s success is that you have to believe in yourself. Because no one’s gonna believe in you unless you believe in yourself".
