I have been subjected to unwarranted and invasive scrutiny of the most intimate and private details of my being.
I was world champion, but I was never able to celebrate it. It was a joke for me.
It's what my friends always tell me, that I'm a strong person and the best. But my head has to be clear before I run so nothing upsets me.
The field is fantastic, great runners, so the best you can do is stay in control, pace yourself well, and then utilise it when you can do better.
The thing I'm afraid of the most with the 800m is injuries. That's why I don't normally like to run in a group: I prefer to be in front, just in case someone pushes me with their spikes. I don't like stuff like that.
I don't like fame, I prefer to have no profile. But this is not possible for me. This is what I do, so I just have to find a way of being comfortable with it.
