I think I was in the most historical and golden era of track and field.
I enjoy my athletics, and I want to take it as far as I can.
I think track is still one of the most exciting participant sports, but we haven't been able to capitalize on that excitement through television and the print media.
People forget that track and field is one of the hardest sports because we compete against all the world. There are many sports when you are up against only 15 or 20 countries.
I began with track and field because this is what I know.
I don't know much about the history of track and field, but I know Gail Devers.
Everything was really competitive. We used to always do field day, relays. Races. I was always just naturally good at those things. So when I started playing football, I used some of those traits.
I was playing cricket first and my cricket coach was the one that introduced me to track and field.
In the television era, the second week of the Olympics is reserved for what is considered the marquee event: track and field.
I literally did athletics my whole life.
Track and field was very big when I was growing up.
I just like going into strange worlds.
I have always loved running on the roads, ever since I used to take part in relays for my club when I was 12 and 13. I felt really at home on the surface.
