, I was nervous at every major championships, but only for the first race, so I could barely sleep the night before the Olympics started.
Okay, you’ve got to work on getting out of the blocks and transitioning, because I had a horrible start.
I got injured just before the Olympics. There were a lot of mind games being played. Linford Christie was the reigning champion and I respect him to the nth degree.
