Sarkar says that it becomes more important than ever for “athletes just to focus on themselves, their own strengths and performances and see the others as secondary”.
Cyclist Chris Froome hailed his “amazing summer” as he clinched a bronze medal for GB at the Olympics – less than three weeks after winning the Tour de France. “They have always feared (our) strength”.
