I'm in my prime. There's no goal too far, no mountain too high.

The triumph can't be had without the struggle. And I know what struggle is. I have spent a lifetime trying to share what it has meant to be a woman first in the world of sports so that other young women have a chance to reach their dreams.

The potential for greatness lives within us all.

I thought I'd never get to see that. Florence Griffith Joyner -- every time she ran, I ran.

Sometimes it takes years to really grasp what has happened to your life.

I had a series of childhood illnesses... scarlet fever.... pneumonia.... Polio. I walked with braces until I was at least nine years old. My life wasn't like the average person who grew up and decided to enter the world of sports.

The feeling of accomplishment welled up inside of me, three Olympic gold medals. I knew that was something nobody could ever take away from me, ever.
