I want to win medals for myself.

I've dominated past competitions, but I've sweated blood and tears for every medal. I take nothing for granted, and I'm fully focused on doing my best.

I'm a guy who wins medals rather than runs fast times, so for me, what keeps me going is winning medals for my country and making my nation proud.

I train and prepare for every contest the same so I can compete to the best of my abilities.

If you have a vision and you are trying to accomplish something, you have to be competitive, or things are going to slip by you.

This medal goes to show that you don't always have to have the best facilities, the best organisation, the best of everything to achieve.

I have run two Olympic 'A' standard times over the past 12 months and with the time I ran at the African Championships last week I know my speed and fitness are constantly improving so that I will peak in time for the Olympics.

From a personal point of view I want some medals because that is what you aim for when you start out playing.

I want to see where I measure up against everyone in the world and everyone who has ever competed in the sport, and there's that innate sense of wanting to challenge myself. I'm competitive in all aspects.

Honestly, it's not the medals that I feel so proud of. It's the way I conducted myself as an athlete, the hard work that I put forward.
