quotes
I felt to myself I had to recapture that element of the sport that I had lost. I was so focused on winning, the medals and the money and everything that came with being a champion that I forgot the simple enjoyment and fun of track and field
I realized when I watched Usain Bolt compete and a lot of the other athletes that had great success ... [that they] were having so much fun
I am going to be hard to beat if I am in shape ... But if I get beat, I would not be surprised.
