Sport and health are so important to our nation that they deserve to be right at the front of people's minds.

I am only about winning and getting better.

Sport fosters many things that are good; teamwork and leadership.

Being a decathlete is like having ten girlfriends. You have to love them all, and you can't afford losing one.

There were only ever two black kids at my school. I never considered myself to be 'a black kid'. I was who I was. Which isn't to say things haven't happened to me that wouldn't have happened if I wasn't black.

When we stage the Olympics it will inspire kids all over the country. A kid in Scotland or Ireland will be encouraged to take up sport.

I don't even have my own computer.
