I had been thinking, 'I've got to win because I'm Olympic champion'; actually, no, it's, 'I'm an Olympic champion for life,' I can just enjoy the rest.

That people believe I can be Olympic champ, it just spurs me on.

When I picked athletics, I knew I wanted to be an Olympic champion.

I always said I wanted an Olympic medal. It's the pinnacle of any athlete's career.

I am glad. I am now an Olympic medallist.

As a child I was very involved with sports and I knew at age 9 that I wanted to be an Olympic champion.

At an Olympics Game, you want to enjoy it, especially if you know it's going to be your last one.

When I chose athletics, I knew I wanted to be Olympic champion, and now I have done it in London.

I've won a world championship, I know how that feels. I don't know how it feels to win a gold medal. I want to feel that; I want to know that.
