I love my tribe, the Maasai are very good people and humble.

The weather plays a very big role. I have run very few races in the raining and the cold.

It's something special to break the world record at the Olympics.

I was still young when I missed Beijing. I was favourite to win a medal but I knew I had time. My coach advised me to stay at school and finish my exams. Even if I had gone and won the Olympics, I might not have handled the pressure. So I moved on.

Going to the Olympics as a Maasai I want to make them proud because, after the warm welcome they gave me when I went back and being their leader, I want to also be the warrior in the Olympics. That will be something good because that will be the first Olympic gold medal for the Maasai.

Sometimes when you get disappointment it makes you stronger.
