I have no intention of lingering through a season, just to have a chance to be an alternate on a relay. I don't want that.

When I decided to go for four gold medals I planned it out over a few years. It was in four different events and there was a lot to it.

If you don't have confidence, you'll always find a way not to win.

The trials on the road to world harmony are no greater than the courage of those who accept the challenge.

To this day, most people think of me as the fastest human. They don't really think me as a long jumper, although that's the event I had more success in.

Life is about timing and overcoming difficult things.

I'm a fast learner. I may not run as fast as I used to, but I think I still learn as fast.
