I always felt free when I ran. I suppose that's what was good about it.

The integral part of being a star is having the will to win. All the champions have it.

No way did I ever think I was going to win the 100m.

My salvation was a free gift. I didn't have to work for it and it's better than any gold medal that I've ever won.

My parents always encouraged me and I had a good home life. We were always taught to respect things and other people. It's so different today, because children are just not taught the right way.

My favourite event was the 200m, so as I won the 100m, I thought it was possible I'd win the 200m.
