I'm very tired after all the traveling in Europe. I wanted to put on one last 200 metres to show people it wasn't just a one-off.

It would be a great time to try for the 100m world record. I'm the world champion. Of course I want that world record.

It was great. That's the biggest cheer I put out the whole time I've been here. Seeing her win the gold medal, she deserves it more than me.

They have three rounds under their belts. I have about seven rounds under my belt right now. If I go out there competitive and run a great race, I think I can do it.

I expect Maurice to be back there pushing me all the way next year,

In Helsinki I felt like a champion and I performed like a champion. I think the reason I was so dominant this year was that I was more mature.

I might go out there and grab a medal from these young boys running fast,
call home knew places run time tracks
The first time I was in Icahn Stadium, I knew you could run sub-10 on that track. It's New York, hey. It's where I was born, where I was raised. There's not a lot of tracks I can call home, that have a home feel about them, and I think this can be one of those places for me.
bringing sound starts
It is possible. I have the competitive spirit. I am working on my starts and bringing sound races.

It would be nice to grab first place in both events. If I run a great race tomorrow I can finish top of the 200 as well.
