I have seen things few of my countrymen have. The first time I went on an aeroplane I couldn't work out how the lavatories worked up in the sky.

When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not against the other runners and not against the time.

You know, I want to help my country. Definitely I can help them, simply by winning races. Sure, they can follow my path to a good career. But for me it is not enough. I want to be more than that. In everything I want to be a role model.

Considering that the race is star-studded no runner will be willing to set the pace for the others. This is why a record will be almost impossible.

I will always listen to my coaches. But first I listen to my body. If what they tell me suits my body, great. If my body doesn't feel good with what they say, then always my body comes first.

At the end of the day, people want to see how fast you run.
