Flash quotes of athletes heading to gold medal finals:

David

Wrestling against a home-town favourite:

“It was nice, whenever you hear the crowd going for somebody, it doesn’t matter if it is for you or not, it’s fun to hear and as long as you don’t let it become a negative thing.”

“Before the I went out there my coach said don’t listen to the crowd, knowing that through-out the tournament I could hear them going for anyone that was from Scotland, but they cheered for me at the end.”

Heading into the final:

“I’m going to go out there and enjoy myself, wrestle well. Every match so far I have been getting better and better, my ground wrestling has been going well, and that is what has helped me win matches, I get to take them down and get a good lead.”

“Just going to recover from this one and get ready for the finals later on.”

Yeats

“So far it has been going really well for me, I think I have been dominating my opponents up until now.”

“The final will be really exciting,” I don’t yet know who it will be, but I am looking forward to it because I have never wrestled these countries before as this is my first big-Games so I am excited to be in the gold-medal final."

Arjun:

What the gold-medal would mean:

“I want to win. I want to win, my family wants me to win, the Indo-Canadian community want me to win."

Health:

“I am coming off of some back issues, and I feel great, not bothering me at all."
