I love the 1,500 meters. I knew that, if I had to do it to win, I'd run under 4:05. That means I could pick up 100 points, maybe even 150 points, on anybody in the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The 200 meters is my baby. To me, it's the perfect distance. It's still a true sprint, but it unravels more. You get to enjoy the race a little bit more than the 100.
No one will ever win a 5,000-meter by running an easy two miles. Not against me.
We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon.
I'm probably a lot more closer in the 1500m to the world record than I am in the 5000m.
My favourite event was the 200m, so as I won the 100m, I thought it was possible I'd win the 200m.
I can say when it comes to championships it's a tactical race and normally you don't have a pacesetter who can set a pace for fast times. That is why you see that obviously we fall around 1:43 because that is the most favorable one can run from the front.
Fantastic, I am very happy to be the fastest 800 metres runner in the world.
1500 metre. I am the king.
I was running sub-13 minutes for 5,000 when I was still coached by Alan Storey, and I won double gold at the Europeans in 2010.
The whole decathlon is ridiculous, but the 1,500 meters is insanity.
