I have the motivation and I am very confident of being fit enough for the 2012 Olympics,8221; said the 27-year-old.

Akhil lost to unheralded Veaceslav Gojan of Moldova to miss out on a medal, but he says he has moved on, 8220;Yes it was heartbreaking. But it is behind me and I have to refocus.8221;
