As I mentioned previously, the tools that allow for optimum health are diet and exercise.

I have competed before empty stadiums a lot in my career.

My family knew, but most of the sporting world did not realize that my right hand been some 75% paralyzed.

Once you have selected a sport or a creative activity, the rules are pretty much the same.

The ability to mingle with so many countries and cultures is extremely valuable for men and women.

The East Germans first used biomechanics. This meant that rather than guessing about technique and form, they could apply changes to athletic performance based on science.

My Olympic voyage has continued because it is so rewarding.
