In digital world, sport provides opportunity to bring people together.

One of my major competitors was Harold Smith. Smith beat me in 1977. I was loafing during that competition.

I never struggled with injury problems because of my preparation - in particular my stretching.

The joint lubrication was not what it was when I was competing, and I decided that not having arthritis or rheumatism for the rest of my life was a lot more important to me than returning to the track.

I always got my work done before playing.

My father was also a principal of a school and mother was a curriculum advisor. Both were educators.

Concentration is why some athletes are better than others. You develop that concentration in training and concentrate in a meet.
