My coach told me if I broke the national record for the 200, I could run a 100.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always try to do better than I have before, so I think it would be good to break the world record.
My personal philosophy is I'm running a 100-yard dash, and I haven't reached the end.
Some people will say, and have said, that I'm trying to run from country, but I'm never going to make anything other than a country record.
As long as you try your best, that is all that matters. You don't have to be the fastest runner or top of the class.
Even if the pace is slow in championships, you can still sprint well and still power in the last 200, which is always the main part when the race is slow.
You could run harder, longer. If the workout was four 200s really, really fast, they wouldn't seem as hard as before. You could cut the rest down from five minutes to three. That's a big difference.
Competing in sports has taught me that if I'm not willing to give 120 percent, somebody else will.
No way did I ever think I was going to win the 100m.
All my coaches tell me that I have been under achieving.
My coach and I thought I could swim a 57.3 if I executed the perfect race, but I did even better than that.
