Mrs [Fanny] Blankers-Koen [who won four golds at the Games]… with her orange shorts and her fair floating hair, striding home time and again to victory, with all the irresistible surge of the great men sprinters, and stealing half their thunder.
We passed two security guards but the third said we were not allowed in. It was 6am and I needed some sleep so I slept on the ground.
Everybody has talked about legacy – this is an actual, real, tangible legacy.
We’re excited to be in London, we’ve got a history in London, there’ll be an automatic rivalry with the East London Royals, I think it’s exactly what basketball needs.
We try to work on scoring goals. We haven't got time to work on celebrations.
I wouldn’t like it if our team did that ... We try to work on scoring goals. We haven’t got time to work on celebrations.
Sports funding is a huge area that needs to be worked on.
We're short of qualified youth coaches and top trainers.
If we can make a contribution to this, then we are glad to do so ... But we do still have expectations. We're not doing it out of compassion - we're talking about sports. That means we want to see performance.

If I did have one, you can bet I would've tried harder to cover it up with the flowers.
I’m looking forward to coming back to the Aviva Birmingham Grand Prix. It was a special atmosphere there last year and another victory would be great. It’s a big year for athletics in the UK. The crowd has really got behind me on home soil in 2012, and I’m sure they’ll be in high spirits to cheer on the returning Olympic contingent in Birmingham.
The Olympics were an amazing experience from start to finish. The crowd were unbelievable and I’m really looking forward to competing in front of a home crowd once again at the Aviva Birmingham Grand Prix. It will be the last major meet in the country this year and I’m determined to give the crowd another big reason to cheer in what has been the best year of my career.
