I Grew Up In A Christian Home

I Spend Around Two And Half Hours On The Track Every Day Running And Another 2 Hours In The Weight Room Lifting Weights With My Strength Coach.

I Always Want To Give More Than I Gave Yesterday.

I'm Just Competitive. It Doesn't Matter What It Is. I Want To Win.

My Mom Always Has This Amazing Ability To Always See The Best In A Situation. In That Moment [when Finished 2nd In The 200 Meter Race In The 2008 Olympic Games] I Was Just Completely Devastated. I Mean, I Had Worked So Hard; That Was My Opportunity. And She Was Just Able To Turn It Around For Me. She Helped Me To Be Able To See The Other Side Of Things And That This Is Not The End For Me. She's Just An Amazing Supporter And An Encouraging Person And She Has A Unique Ability To Do That. And So Those Are The Kind Of Things She Said To Me In That Moment And Over The Next Four Years. When Things Get Tough, She's Always Been My Strength.

I Am A Sprinter, And I Love To Go Fast. It's Very Difficult For Me To Be Patient And Follow A Race Strategy Or Conserve Energy.
