First of all, what happens is, when you're good at something, you spend a lot of time with it. People identify you with that sport, so it becomes part of your identity.

Athletics keeps us healthy, gets us up and running around. It also gives you an opportunity to meet a lot of different people, which is very important.

There are hurdles to overcome in sport and in life. Sport is a very valuable learning ground for how to live your life in the best possible way.

If I was born again, I would be able to do any sport because I would have time to learn.

All I can ask from society is that it please stop telling me why I should like sports.

Athletic ability can be taken away like that. It can all end in a heartbeat.

If you want experiences to make you a better person, then you play two or three sports.

As an athlete, you figure you work your whole life to have what you have, and to be able to show the world what you have and how proud you are of it, that's always fun.
