I made publicity contracts with Nike, several broadcasting companies and airline companies within Australia.

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

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

People could see in me who I am now, an Olympic champ, the best in the world.

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

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

My story has resonated around the world. I am just Catherine, I just like to run. And I'll run with opportunities.
