“Thank you,” he said, his voice steady yet filled with emotion. “This medal is for everyone who believed in me—my team, my family, and all of you who cheered me on. Together, we made this possible.”
As the national anthem played, Tadej glanced at the sky, feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude. This was more than an achievement; it was a testament to perseverance, dreams, and the unwavering support of those around him.
In that moment, he understood that being the world’s best cyclist was not just about individual triumphs, but about the community that lifted him to the heights he had reached. The cheers echoed in his heart, a reminder that the journey was just as important as the destination.
