On the men's 100m final on Sunday: "My race felt like destiny. I wanted to make it on the team and that I'm going to do." On how long he will be in the sport: "I see 10, 11, 12 years ahead of me. I want to make a career out of sport, make a legacy out of it." Stacy Dragila I was in the Olympic uniform in 2000. This is an wonderful concept. This year I think they have really listened to the athletes. The colors look good on everybody. It feels great. When you're in something that doesn't creep and crawl, it's great. |
On the multiple world records in the women's pole vault this year: "It's exciting to be a part of it. In 2000, I was out by myself, this year I'm in the mix with a couple of people. I'm ready for the challenge. When it comes down to the Olympics, it's going to be a showdown."
