    "The conditions were good. It’s the first time I’ve started a competition without any stress," he continued . "As I was a total outsider, I only had one goal: to play with the audience. I was almost there."

    Well, that's certainly a bummer but hopefully he'll get another shot in 2028!

    To quote the great movie The Sandlot , "Heroes get remembered, but legends never die."
