Considering it is early in the season, I'm pretty satisfied with my performance. My focus right now is to peak for the Commonwealth Games. I struggled in the preliminaries but I was much better in the semis and even better in the final. I'm happy with how I came back. |
Even though that story was sad and bad for both sides I suppose, he's still my buddy, |
He remains my best friend of course and he wants the best for me, so he doesn't talk to me about it. We have our friendship and coach-athlete relationship. |
I believe the Go Active! Fitness Challenge is important at this level, because it's at school that we start learning good habits. Ever since I was a kid, I've needed to move and be active. Being active, for me, is also about having dreams, working hard to get better and better, having fun doing it and achieving my dreams. I hope this program will encourage young people to be active and have dreams. |
I really want to get back into it. |
I think my condition is better than it was last year when I started back. |
I trained with him before the world championships last summer, when he was in the middle of the situation, and for my own good, he kept it [the scandal] away from me, |
I want everything to be good. Before I start 10-metre I'll make sure I'm in appropriate shape and make sure everything is right. |
I was really focusing on keeping that leg with me instead of losing it. I sort of got lost in the rotation. With these guys there's no way you can afford to make that kind of mistake. I was happy I managed to come back. I didn't give it up. |
Most important, he knows me and how I react to situations. He knows when to push me and when not to push. |
