My parents always used to say I was too much of a perfectionist, but last night I was just the right amount of one. It was an honour to place silver in Patron Perfectionists 2020, and to have my whole country supporting me - that was solid gold. Thank you everyone! #patronperfectionists #simplyperfect.
