I don't know what happened. I felt good today, but I've been sick all week and now I'm not feeling good. ... I guess it just wasn't my time.
I'm not shocked she ran that fast, ... But it's going to be a tough one for her, because I plan on bringing it.
I ran a fantastic time today world lead and personal best, ... I couldn't have run any faster because of the conditions. I'm very satisfied because I got my revenge today for Helsinki, where Tonique was first and I was only second.
Focus on the victory instead of on everything that could go wrong.
No matter what you're trying to do there will be noise in the market... Before the race starts, I'm already focused on the victory.
My favorite healthy foods are Jamaican chicken soup, Jamaican chicken stew peas, Jamaican brown stew chicken, plantains and banana chips.
A lot of times in sport if you try to tell the truth it seems like an excuse.
My indulgences are Skittles and rum raisin ice cream.
I feel as healthy as I've ever felt.
