The motivation is just to stay healthy, I’ve been injured and for me it's not so important competitions. The medals are not so important. I had a horrible two years.
The gentleman of track and field, October 17 2003
I’ve had three horrible years, I missed the Olympics and the World Championships. Only my family and manager know what I’ve been through.
I’m living in a new dream, I’m now living a second life. I do not take anything for granted anymore.
