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

I felt so full of gratitude and humility that I clasped my hands in front of me, closed my eyes and said a silent prayer of thanks to God... I had at last achieved something I'd wanted for so long... My insides bubbled with happiness. It was a dream come true.

I'm so lucky. I have such a great support system. All I have to do is run.

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

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

I have a friend who, if she has a bad hair day, it affects her whole mood because it is part of her sexuality, her confidence. I don't have that problem any more.

Being overseas at the time it all kind of happened was perfect because I had no idea that it was going to attract so much media attention and provoke these lovely people calling in and offering up their opinions and advice.
