Being a role model is a privilege.

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

I focused solely on the sprints, dedicated my time there, got in the weight room, just really did everything I could to make sure I would be in the best position to run for gold.

I think it's very important, even if you're not in organized sports, but just to be active, to be healthy.

I want to run for eternal glory and track is great, but it's not what life is all about.

I'm really laid back but I still like to dress up sometimes.

Before a race, I block out what's going on in the stadium. It's different for everyone. But for me, I've always been able to block it out. For a sprint race, it's important not to get distracted.
