I don't compete with other discus throwers. I compete with my own history.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I started athletics in 1999, throwing discus and shot put. I didn't tell my family when I started boxing.
If I could be good at any sport, it'd be javelin. I know a few people I would love to throw a spear at.
I don't know the history of my sport. I'm not like those people who know everything.
When I go in to compete, whether it's gymnastics or anything else, I do my own thing. I compete with myself.
I was a thrower. I think I'm more of a pitcher now.
I'm not super-athletic.
We always spend more time on the throwing events and a little bit more on the long jump. They're my weaker events - they don't come as naturally to me as running and jumping. I like the hurdles and the high-jump, I'm a springy, speedy athlete so those suit me.
I don't think the discus will ever attract any interest until they let us start throwing them at each other.
I like seeing those 300-pound women that toss those discus. I just feel like they're so scary. It freaks me out a little bit to know that there are women like that.
I'm really good at gymnastics, and that's about it.
