The integral part of being a star is having the will to win. All the champions have it. ”

My parents always encouraged me and I had a good home life. We were always taught to respect things and other people. It's so different today, because children are just not taught the right way. ”

I realised from a very early age that God gave me a gift, and that gift was to run, and I wanted to use it to the best of my ability. ”

My salvation was a free gift. I didn't have to work for it and it's better than any gold medal that I've ever won. ”
