"Anything is possible if you believe in it and work hard to achieve your goal. The love of the country and of our Great King, the will and the faith gave me the strength of the titans to face the challenges and give the best of myself ..... "said the athlete in response to one of the many questions posed by the students.
The four-time world champion said he was very impressed by the infrastructure of the University and by its values and the quality of the exchanges with the students and teachers.
