If you don't try to win you might as well hold the Olympics in somebody's back yard.

One chance is all you need.

If you don't try to win you might as well hold the Olympics in somebody's back yard.

Find the good. It's all around you. Find it, showcase it and you'll start believing in it.

One day or another every athlete feels like taking it easy. He stops trying to exceed his limits, and thinks he can keep winning because of his lucky star, or the bad luck of his opponents. You must overcome this negative instinct, which affects all of us, and which is the only difference between the person who wins a race, and those who lose. This is the battle you have to fight every day of your life.

I always loved running... it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs.

I let my feet spend as little time on the ground as possible. From the air, fast down, and from the ground, fast up.
