allen amazing crowd distracted entered felt hotel left moment name shoulder shouting
When I got shoulder to shoulder with Allen Johnson, I felt that I was going to win. The crowd was amazing but they did give me pressure, too. From the moment I left the hotel to the moment I entered the stadium, they were shouting out my name and I had to respond. That distracted me a little, but it was okay.
