winning events favourite
My favourite event was the 200m, so as I won the 100m, I thought it was possible I'd win the 200m
bible jesus believe
I can understand how evolution says, "don't believe in God", but I've never had this problem. I've always loved His creation. Unfortunately, this doesn't mean any_thing to some people, and I just don't get that! After all, if you just read the Bible plainly, it tells you everything. From Creation, to the Flood, to Jesus. I can't see how you can come to the conclusion, there is no God.
can-do i-can
I don't concentrate on things I can't do. I do what I can do.
running motivational-running felt
I always felt free when I ran. I suppose that's what was good about it.
running way succeed
You've got to stick at a thing, a particular thing, until you succeed.I feel that's the only way to succeed - by concentrating on something in particular. Once you know what you've got to do you will succeed, you will succeed.
sports stars winning
The integral part of being a star is having the will to win. All the champions have it.
children home people
My parents always encouraged me and I had a good home life. We were always taught to respect things and other people. It's so different today, because children are just not taught the right way
thinking winning way
No way did I ever think I was going to win the 100m
effort mouths balls
Everything I did that required effort, I opened my mouth. Even to catch a ball, I opened my mouth
free-gifts gold salvation
My salvation was a free gift. I didn't have to work for it and it's better than any gold medal that I've ever won
running age use
I realised from a very early age that God gave me a gift, and that gift was to run, and I wanted to use it to the best of my ability
