We came here knowing the competition would be fierce, with four world medalists in their category but they remained focused on their goals. They are determined to gain experience, learn, and they're motivated like never before. They have a fantastic role model in Ireland with Rhys, he is an exemplary role model of resilience, they can learn and draw inspiration from here also."
