I never had a serious injury that kept me out of a big competition. Now everyone has injuries - to their feet or their knees or their backs.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Injuries aren't anything foreign to me. I am used to overcoming illness and injury; you can't complain about it. When you're standing up there on the blocks, it doesn't really matter: it's all about the next minute.
For most of my career I've been very lucky to have avoided major injuries.
I used to keep injuries to myself. It would just make it worse and worse. Now I'm having none of that.
Everyone gets hurt, but I've probably had the most injuries.
Coping with injuries is always difficult for athletes because all we want to do is, basically, to have our best performances unhindered.
Even when I was young, playing college football, and I injured my knee, I bounced right back.
I've had a couple of years where injuries have not let me develop in the way I wanted. When I was 21, after the European Championship, I had more injuries. Everything has been less continuous and it has cost me more progress. Continuity is what got me where I am.
The worst injury I ever had was a stress fracture from running.
I've had so many injuries in my life that it's ridiculous.
I've had so many injuries.
