Every New Year's Eve, I have a pact to do something I never thought I'd do. So I created this list. You have to free your mind to do things you wouldn't think of doing. Don't ever say no.

My thoughts before a big race are usually pretty simple. I tell myself: Get out of the blocks, run your race, stay relaxed. If you run your race, you'll win... channel your energy. Focus.

The people are fed up with their elected officials playing the blame game and treating their political counterparts as enemies.

When I run - you can see my record - I run to win.

I work with the Carl Lewis Foundation focusing on youth from high school down.

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.

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.
