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

Sometimes when you get disappointment it makes you stronger.

Races always are good to show where you are reaching in your training as well as to keep you sharpened. Every race, in my program, I put it in a special way like a ladder, climbing up slowly and slowly to the next one. I see where my training is, and that is like a test.

When I was a little boy, I always wanted to run. I loved competing with my friends.

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

I missed the final of the World Championships in 2009, but I told the coach I would break the world record in 2010. Which I did. Then in 2011 I won the World Championships and now in 2012 it is the Olympics. That is how I have been working.

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