Being a role model is a privilege.

What's really heavy on my heart is fighting physical inactivity.

I'm always nervous. If I wasn't nervous, it would be weird. I get the same feeling at all the big races. It's part of the routine, and I accept it. It means I'm there and I'm ready.

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.

If I wasn't active and involved in different sports and just moving around, I wouldn't have even known that I had the potential to become an Olympian.

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.

My speed is a gift from God, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, it all comes from him.
