‘’After Beijing I felt fatigue. Not emotionally but physically. I can’t dwell on my past performances and I try to look at the next race. After I was happy with my level of performance and that I came away without injuries. Of course I did not race in Beijing the way that I used to. In the closing stages of my race I was leaning forward too much. I have to think more about executing my own race instead of competing against other athletes. It was a hard lesson, but I have learned.’’ ‘
’Age is not what determines your level of performance. It’s all about how focused and motivated you can be. To me it feels like this year is just a prelude to Rio. I will have to step my game up. This year I was consistent in running 9.7, next year I will need to do better.’’
‘’What I want to do is to offer young and talented athletes an opportunity to knock me off the podium and to prove how good sprinters they can become.”
‘’Journalists do their job and they have to write about what is good and what is bad, in an unbiased way.’’
