Even if the pace is slow in championships, you can still sprint well and still power in the last 200, which is always the main part when the race is slow.

I often felt that I didn't train and race enough team sprint to get it right. You need to know that you've got a place to have that continuity of results. Am I in? Am I out of this one? That's tough.

I think we have the approach that every race is a sprint. Some races are just longer sprints than others.

I am a bit different from the other sprinters because, I would say, I can run many different ways while the other guys they just came on and they can only run one way.

Experience has taught me how important it is to just keep going, focusing on running fast and relaxed. Eventually it passes and the flow returns. It's part of racing.

I think it's important to remember that to exercise you don't have to run a sprint.

If you want to be a successful runner, you have to consider everything. It's no good just thinking about endurance and not to develop fine speed.

A guy like me, yes, I am good in terms of championship races, and that's where I dominate - but in terms of running fast times, I haven't quite done that.

I can say when it comes to championships it's a tactical race and normally you don't have a pacesetter who can set a pace for fast times. That is why you see that obviously we fall around 1:43 because that is the most favorable one can run from the front.

Practice being in the moment when you are running, whether you are on your own or in the race.
