My father thought sport was something fun - he didn't know it was a way to make money.

If your body is damaged, wounded, it can be fixed, but if inside, mentally, you are wounded you cannot fix it, it's hard.

I remember in particular my first victory when I achieved a very fast time in what were perfect conditions but since then the wind has always been a factor against me.

For me a day without training is like a day without eating.

In the marathon a crazy athlete can just keep pushing from the beginning, at a championship you don't need a time just to win the race.

I think if you come first with a new world record, that is the best.

Schooling is so important.
