Before the decathlon I'm constantly trying to convince myself that I want to do this, that I want to take myself to that place where it's going to hurt and things are going to be tough. But that's like anything - you want to give your best.

I train six to seven hours every single day. I wake up six days a week and know that it's going to be the same thing.

I'm excited to be a part of the Olympic movement again.

It's not easy waking up every single morning knowing what you're going to put your body through and having to do it. We don't have days off.

I think to actually be an Olympian to me means that you've trained most of your life, or you've dedicated most of your life or a big chunk of your life into doing something that you believe that you can accomplish.

It's not necessarily size that matters, it's how fast you move that implement.
