My salvation was a free gift. I didn't have to work for it and it's better than any gold medal that I've ever won.

You've got to stick at a thing, a particular thing, until you succeed. I feel that's the only way to succeed - by concentrating on something in particular. Once you know what you've got to do you will succeed, you will succeed.

I don't concentrate on things I can't do. I do what I can do.

No way did I ever think I was going to win the 100m.

My salvation was a free gift. I didn't have to work for it and it's better than any gold medal that I've ever won.

I realized from a very early age that God gave me a gift, and that gift was to run, and I wanted to use it to the best of my ability.
