I am very determined and the sport is my passion. I believe I am born for running.

I was always surrounded by expectation from the very first race I ran as a 5-year-old.

I think the greatest amount of pressure is the pressure I place on myself. So in a way I chose to be alone.

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

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

I've had my fair share of being dismissed. But I'm only about to turn 30. And when I finish running, I'm going to be a dangerous woman.

I don't like people looking at me; I hate the attention.
