I'm A Runner First Before Anything Else.

You Know, I Want To Help My Country. Definitely I Can Help Them, Simply By Winning Races. Sure, They Can Follow My Path To A Good Career. But For Me It Is Not Enough. I Want To Be More Than That. In Everything I Want To Be A Role Model.

I Want To Avoid Injuries By Running Only Road.

My Father Thought Sport Was Something Fun - He Didn't Know It Was A Way To Make Money. Then I Won A Mercedes At The World Championships And I Gave It To Him. From The Moment It Arrived My Father Said: 'good, You Can Support Not Just Yourself But Me Too'.

The Marathon Always Starts After 30k. That's Where The Problems Start. You Start Without Any Problems, Without Any Pain. All The Pain Comes After 30k. Sometimes, It's Possible To Have Pain Even In The Finger.

You Lose The Speed Before The Stamina.
