My feelings tried to control me on my run. I had to concentrate fully on forthcoming running and success. I wanted to triumph.

With Alexander's cancer, I was definitely brought to my knees for the first time because of the fear factor.

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.

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

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

I like being in the workforce; it keeps me grounded.

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