I might have to consider coaching- I'm getting too old to be a world class runner and my mind isn't gone enough to become an official.

Quite simply the Games are the biggest opportunity sport in this country has ever had. It is one that we must not squander.

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

I wouldn't have raced a horse. But you'll then throw back at me that Jesse Owens raced against a horse and he's one of my heroes so I'm not going to say it was a silly stunt. I know too much about horses. They're highly unreliable and they've got brains the size of golf balls.

The London Games will be designed for the athletes and we will provide them with the very best venues and the very best conditions to pursue their sporting dreams in London.

This is not going to be business as usual. This is business unusual

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