What you got to do is to compete under pressure. The girls who got the Olympic slots went out and ran 100%. I did not rise to the occasion and that is my fault

Each time I mess up I try to go back to practice and fix it. Track and field is 90% mental. So if you’re negative and hard on yourself it’s harder to move on and harder to succeed in the sport.

I think being able to understand your event and know how technical it is, helps you know what you need to do to improve.

I just had so much inside me and so much that I knew I could do. At the time it was tough not making the Olympic team but overall it was part of my plan.

I don’t think I would want to change the past because not making that Olympic team made me hungrier for the next race and perhaps that was why I was able to go out and break the world record.
