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.

This is what I wanted. They tell me that London is the best field in history. I wanted to be part of that. Because everyone will be there it will be a wonderful challenge for me. You can see the best runners, how they look, how they run. For me to beat the best is what counts.

I can't change everything by myself but I can be one of the people who are trying to change the situation.

Life is a kind of struggle. Life is a sort of fight.

I'm retiring from competitive running, not from running. You cannot stop running, this is my life.

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 want to avoid injuries by running only road.
