After the completion of his race at Tokyo, Noah sobbed not just because of missing out on the topmost position at the podium but also because his younger brother couldn’t make it to the team. Sharing such an emotionally close bond, the elder one sobbed and told the media that Josephus had the original dream of being an Olympian too.

Also, it was a troublesome time for both of them because Noah was undergoing depression. His younger brother saw him go on and off antidepressants as he was so dedicated to making it through the Olympic trials, at least. Recalling their hardship, Noah couldn’t help himself but have a breakdown.

He advocated the important issue of mental health and expressed his gratitude towards his brother Josephus.
