If you lived in Sheffield and were called Sebastian, you had to learn to run fast at a very early stage.

Competing is exciting and winning is exhilarating, but the true prize will always be the self-knowledge and understanding that you have gained along the way.

The Paralympians have lifted the cloud of limitation.

We need to be confident. We need not to blink.

Our success in Singapore was a Herculean effort by the whole team. Now I am determined to deliver on all we promised. I will be watching like a hawk.

Blink and you miss a sprint. The 10,000 meters is lap after lap of waiting. Theatrically, the mile is just the right length: beginning, middle, end, a story unfolding.

Tomorrow is another day, and there will be another battle!
