For an athlete, the biggest pressure comes from within. You know what you want to do and what you're capable of.

No one remembers who came fourth.

I apologise to people when I need to.

You can't become a winner overnight, or even in a couple of years-it takes time... You will lose races and you will have to accept that, learn from it and believe that you'll win the next one, knowing that you'll probably lose that as well. All the time you have to keep believing that one day you will win.

I have always run as hard as I can. You are not going to run any harder with or without men. You are running on your own two feet.

Every time I go out and race it's a goal to go out and run faster than I've done before.

Actually I don't choose to expose myself in public. I choose to compete; the other side just comes with the package.
