Even if I flop, I still qualified for the Games, and that was my goal. My target was to be at an Olympics for the third time with people I like.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It was a dream come true for me to be at the Olympics.
No one put pressure on me to go to the Olympics; once I'd got the qualifying mark, I just couldn't say no.
I had flops, I had success.
The highlight of my career? The Olympics, of course.
When I chose athletics, I knew I wanted to be Olympic champion, and now I have done it in London.
It's my dream, my goal to be good at Olympics, anywhere they are in the world.
It was a dream of mine to be an Olympic champion but not a lifelong goal.
When I picked athletics, I knew I wanted to be an Olympic champion.
In the '80 Olympics... people expected me to win. I was good enough to win, and I made a mistake and ended up second, which is pretty good, too.
I have some really lofty goals that don't even scratch upon the Olympics.
