"The Olympic Games in Los Angeles, USA, gave birth to my enormous interest in athletics. I was then eight years old. Sure, it was powerful to sit in front of the TV and watch
Carl Lewis win four gold medals, but it was actually the man who came flying into the stadium during the opening ceremony that lit the flame within me.
After that moment everything about the Olympic Games was the most powerful thought I had. A few months later I started my athletics venture, and 16 years later I competed in the Olympic Games in Sydney”
