LONDON (Reuters) - With 100 days to go until the Tokyo Olympics, British taekwondo athlete Lutalo Muhammad is determined to make every second count. "The lesson of every second counts is something that I definitely apply to my personal life and my training life," the 2016 silver and 2012 bronze medallist told Reuters. Every rep in the gym counts, every kick counts when I’m kicking the pad, every punch counts, every lift counts, every extra bit of nutrition counts... that’s the lesson I really learned then. "Every second counts so remembering how marginal the gains and losses are, I think has made me a better man and a better athlete." "Yes, I think it's true I have become more known but also it’s made me a better athlete thanks to the hard lesson I learned in 2016, that every second counts."
