We want to promote the great quality of athletics - and maintain it's integrity - all over the world.

You never know the limit of a human being.

And then you have the responsibility and the duty of being good examples to youngsters, not smoke, training hard, go to bed early, don't drink alcohol, don't take drugs, it's very important to have a policy for educating against doping.

Be very strong... be very methodical in your life if you want to be a champion.

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

In Cuba we use our champions to promote the sport.

I love music, and outside of work my family keeps me very busy, I have five children to keep track of.
