We have to lie to ourselves as decathletes and say that we like all ten events.

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.

Breaking the world record has always been in the works. I just need the right conditions and I can make it.

Repercussions are serious and they will take you places.

We have to lie to ourselves as decathletes and say that we like all ten events.

If I look what sport has done in my life, I don't think there's any doubt that sport can change lives.

I don't think anyone chooses the decathlon as much as it chooses you.
