It didn’t occur in the competition arena or on the training track. Instead, it happened at a karaoke night at the student union of St Mary’s University. “This one day at university I remember really struggling with my work and I was unable to put sentences together, so I left the library confused and in a huff,” he says. “As I was walking past the student union, there was a karaoke going on. Then I remembered the promise I’d made to myself.”
