Additional information

General
MIXED EMOTIONS
He says he felt mixed emotions at the 2019 World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany, due to Canada missing out on a spot in the team event for the 2020 Olympic Games, while he secured an individual quota spot for the Games. "It was devastating to realise that we failed to qualify the team. For a whole day I felt the disappointment with the rest of my teammates. When I learned that I qualified individually, I had truly mixed feelings. On one hand I was ecstatic, but it didn't happen the way I hoped. I couldn't share the victory with my teammates because of our recent defeat. It's only after the world championships that I could appreciate my Olympic qualification." (International Gymnast magazine, December 2019)
