Anyone who attempts anything original in the world must expect a bit of ridicule.

I got involved in athletics during physical education lessons at school.

The most important part of this is to prepare the athlete for life in general and then be able to compete.

I run in practically every single road race in my country, 5k, 10k just to promote the sport.

In Cuba we use our champions to promote the sport.
