If you like something, you must work hard at it. If you take part in any event, do not worry about people beating you, as long as you do a good time. Train hard and ask somebody how you can set out a training programme.

For the young athletes I say: We need you; the world needs you; the Olympic Movement needs you. We need unity, and we need to work together to be able to improve the standards of sport worldwide.

We come into this world with nothing … and depart this world with nothing … it’s what we contribute to the community that is our legacy.
