Shortly after his historic performance, the rings legend took to social media to share his own message about this success, revealing that he had been sick with a fever in the days leading up to the competition.
Here is his message in full: “I’m speechless!
From last week’s hell to today’s paradise.
A cold, a 39 fever, and lots of thoughts about what went wrong. But I pulled through one day before the final, and today I did what I had to do: a routine worthy of my potential.
Second in the world. Yet another medal that represents a lot of hard work, faith, and love for what I do. From me and my team.
Thank you to everyone who stood by me!
P.S. It’ll be a while before I step down from the podium. And it’ll happen when I decide it will.”
