โItโs a surreal feeling to have qualified my spot at the Olympics. And a huge honour to be the first NZ trampoline athlete to do so. I just feel a huge weight off my shoulders now that this part is over and all my hard work has paid off. I canโt wait to get back in the gym and keep training hard to do the best I can in 4 monthsโ time.โ – Dylan Schmidt
