I don't have a lot of regrets in my life.

For athletes traditionally it's such a fantastic stepping stone to greater things down the track and in the future. Don't undermine the Commonwealth Games!

This occasion is personally very meaningful and I hope to visit Korea again if I have the chance.

I made my first Australian senior team when I was 16, first Olympics when I was 19, and I retired. I'm 32, I retired four years ago, so a good third of my life or nearly a third of my life has been all about running.

I decided that I was going to go to the Olympics to see if I had made the right decision to retire because I knew that if I'd made the mistake of retiring I would know during and after those Games in Athens.

When I was 18 years old, about to develop my sportsman career, the asthma complaints became already some years before.

I don't agree with everything Madonna's done but she is fearless.
