Sometimes, we didn't have enough to eat. I'd go to school with no lunch money, and my school would have to provide it.
From Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce
I like colours. I like to be bright and bold.
I let my times speak for myself.
It's not about where you're from: it's about how to deliver.
Because I knew how hard I worked, I knew the pain, I knew the sacrifice, I knew the tears, I knew everything. Despite everything, I stuck to it. I toughed it out, and I kept my head in the game, even when the odds were against me.
It means a lot to defend my title.
We are the ones out there competing, and yet we read articles and listen to people making accusations about Jamaica, and there's nobody there to take a microphone, be a big person and say, 'What you're saying is wrong, and it's a lie.'
I wanted green in my hair, so I did green. And I got my sunflowers to match. I've never done it before. Just said, 'OK, I'm doing my hair green.'
It is so important that our federation stands by our athletes.
As athletes, our job is to train and compete.
