I think my 3:27 for 1500m is worth 7:21 for 3000m.

It was an extraterrestrial performance. It is very special to go below 4:50, but I believe I can do better.

I am still young. I have a lot of time. And if someone breaks my records in the future, I won't cry. That's sport.

I believe in God. He is the secret of my success. He gives people talent.

And then in life, you always have to try, and today, I may not have succeeded, but I am happy to have tried to beat my record.

Perhaps I don't give the impression that I'm hurting on the track. But that is because I am animated by an interior force which covers my suffering.

My real motivation is to reach 3:25... I am still young; I have a lot of time left in my career.
