For me, it's really important to be able to compete on the highest level.

You know, I love wearing heels. I wish I could wear them all the time, but, you know, my sport doesn't really permit it.

I always look back to my first Olympic medal in 2004 in Athens. I was very new to the sport, and it was my first big win at the Olympics.

For me, my faith is the reason I run. I definitely feel I have this amazing gift that God has blessed me with, and it's all about using it to the best of my ability.

The pressure is hard. You get - the world is only watching every four years, and I think lots of people feel like they have to win in that time frame.

Parents have to understand, that even if their child isn't showing athletic excellence in a certain sport, they still need to be involved. They don't need to be involved in a military type of setting, they just need to get out and play and enjoy themselves and find it themselves.

I am a big believer in visualization. I run through my races mentally so that I feel even more prepared.
