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

It's kind of fun to hear that other people deal with the same kinds of issues that you do.

I've been telling people I'm in the best shape of my life, I've been training unbelievably hard.

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.

How many times do you take yourself to the brink of complete collapse? It's not a real fun place to go.

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

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