I am happy about it. After the Tokyo Olympic Games, I worked on improving my performance in snatch and I am happy to manage to do well here. I will continue to do well in the next few months as my aim is to perform well in the World Championship in December this year. I am happy with my performance here. To win a gold medal with a record is always good. I had expected to win the gold medal and managed to do so.”
