I've got to do Gotzis at least once.
I dabbled in football myself until the age of 14, but I didn't have as much love for the sport as I did track and field. I would never have been good enough to take it to the highest level.
When I was a kid, I was a pretty good runner, and there was nothing like winning a race.
I have a wife and two boys. One is 18 and the other is 14. The 18-year old is getting ready for college next year and he made a decision to run track. He runs a lot like Michael Johnson.
I'm a really fast runner. No one can catch me - I'm quick.
I tried to make the Olympics team in 1956.
The records fell easily at first. Dozens of seconds peeled away with every running of a course, and I could hardly wait for the next chance to improve.
I've always enjoyed running.
Nike came to me and said, 'We're interested in the decathlon and interested in seeing if we can help you get as close to 10,000 points as we can.'
I just missed out on qualifying for the Sydney Olympics in 2000.
I also held several masters running titles.
I want to jump far all the time and go out there and win medals.
That's what has always been good about track. The goal is very clearly defined: Try to win. Get the gold medal. And I'm able to put my energy toward that.
I used to have tears in my eyes on the way to practice because I was so focused. For me, track and field was serious business. I didn't have any friends. I was very isolated and very focused.
It was a lot to get used to, especially in warm-ups with the wind all over the place. As the meet went on it steadied out, so I was able to get some good looks to go back and train from.
I don't have any close friends that are my competitors. I think that's just the nature of being a sprinter.
I've never thrown a javelin. What kind of sport is that? It's hilarious.
I used to run a lot in school.
Mum tries to make every race that she can.
A guy like me, yes, I am good in terms of championship races, and that's where I dominate - but in terms of running fast times, I haven't quite done that.
I want to be looked at as one of the greatest sprinters of all-time.
I love racing and I love doing well.
I don't think I was a perfect hurdler, but I guess I did win all the time.
Billy Konchellah with his World Championship titles, Paul Ereng with his Olympic gold and Wilson Kipketer with his World records are my role models.
I'm not the next Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps.
