We're involved in racing because there's that element of competition. But there's that desire to push yourself beyond the natural comfort zone and the boundaries that are preset if you like, and to be better than the rest.

The weather plays a very big role. I have run very few races in the raining and the cold.

I'm a racer at heart more than anything else, and that will always be my priority: competing. But ultimately, if you can't drive, you can still have the competitive spirit outside of a car.

If you think about racing too much you may just lose it a little bit.

Many track and field people know that if I stay relaxed and run my race like I'm supposed to, I will be the winner at the Olympic Games.

It might sound stupid, but I don't enter a race to win - I enter a race because I love racing.

Anytime you have a tight race and you lose, it's not pleasant.
