Ryan Gunn is scheduled to leave for Singapore for the Youth Olympic Games very soon, www.islandstats.com asked the young Triathlete a few questions before he departs.
Q. You will be representing Bermuda at the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore are you nervous?
A. Yes I am pretty nervous - this is the biggest event in my career so far.
Q. What was the difference between competing on home soil and competing aboard?
A. Home soil - I know the competitors. Abroad - every competition is different and the field for my age group is massive.
Q. What have you been doing to prepare for the Youth Olympics?
A.I have increased my training over the past 6 weeks and am also working out in the hotter part of the day so I can get ready for the heat and humidity in Singapore. In addition I have been taking extra swim lessons where I have been focusing in on technique and form.
Q. Are you satisfied with your preparations thus far?
A. Yeah - I mean, I believe so.
Q. What can Bermuda expect from Ryan Gunn during the Youth Olympics?
A. To perform as best as I can and achieve a personal best. It will be the "best of the best" from all around the World. It would be great to finish in the top 10% of the field.
Q. Where does Ryan Gunn see himself in 2012?
A. While I would love to be able to represent BDA in London, I have to focus on completing my education first. If I am able to train and keep my grades, then I hope to get a chance to represent Bermuda - if not, you can be sure I will be looking towards 2016!
