But I sometimes think we have too much of a fixation about 2012.

I am a coach on the outside of the establishment and that works.

I have got better things to do in working with my athletes who I feel are going to be involved in 2012.

We have got to go out there and deliver, go on the streets and find athletes, improve facilities around the country and find coaches. We have got to go out there and search for a star.

I coach a few guys and they work very, very hard, but in our day we did it because we just loved it.

I think it's great that they are getting funding, but it's just too easy. They don't have to work for it. We did it because we had pride, because we loved it.

Obviously I was disappointed when it fell into disuse, because it was my own track named after me, but I am sure all those youngsters we lost will be coming back, and I certainly intend to be down here as much as I can, coaching and advising.
