I tell you, it was kind of two-fold. I fortunately had a lot of support. My coach was amazing - he told me to focus on being prepared and that is what I did. Every athlete is nervous - any athlete who tells you they're not nervous isn't telling you the truth. I was as prepared as I could be.
The best kids are going to become the best. But the best thing about it is that you're going to learn lessons in playing those sports about winning and losing and teamwork and teammates and arguments and everything else that are going to affect you positively for the rest of your life.
I'm not supposed to be able to speak clearly, and decipher what's going on in the media. I'm supposed to be the typical amateur who's 22 and scared to death and can't believe he won the Olympics.

To this day, most people think of me as the fastest human. They don't really think me as a long jumper, although that's the event I had more success in.
There is no correlation between a childhood success and a professional athlete.
My thoughts before a big race are usually pretty simple. I tell myself: "Get out of the blocks, run your race, stay relaxed. If you run your race, you'll win... channel your energy. Focus.".

Scientists have proven that it's impossible to long-jump 30 feet, but I don't listen to that kind of talk. Thoughts like that have a way of sinking into your feet.
By carrying the torch, you will be bridging cultural and social barriers, and all the boundaries that separate nation from nation,
When you're a part of something that people want you in ... that's what makes it special.
In light of the substantial attention given this case by the Supreme Court, I believe my continued participation would create a distraction of no benefit to the parents or the best interest of the child,
The trials on the road to world harmony are no greater than the courage of those who accept the challenge.
She expressed that she just wanted everything explained to her, ... She's a little afraid and that's a lot to handle.
