I have a coach but there's nobody at my level in Gaza. I have to do most of my training sessions on my own.

I practice on the roads of Gaza as we don't have good stadiums and tracks so I gave my best.

I feel a freedom when I start running. If I don't train, I feel like everyone else in the Gaza Strip.

I don't compete with other discus throwers. I compete with my own history.

I never hurt nobody but myself and that's nobody's business but my own.

Today's younger generation is no worse than my own. We were just as ignorant and repulsive as they are, but nobody listened to us.
