Allyson had the option of running and she wasn't very comfortable as the first leg. No one is upset abut not being able to run the relays. |

I had a great time and those kids gave me a real feel for the Russian community and what it's like to be here. The kids were very genuine and well educated and there was a nice enthusiasm throughout the room. It was a wonderful opportunity. |
I just wanted to be me. I feel this brings out my personality. |
I was a little bit nervous about the exchanges. But I think they were almost excellent. |
I was excited. But we got lectured all these times about etiquette if you win a medal. At first I was looking for my flag to wave, but then I thought 'what if you're not supposed to carry your flag when you finish second, instead of first'? Then I wasn't sure if I could run around the track. You don't want to get captured on TV from a bad perspective. I was definitely excited, but I was a little lost, too. |
I would really like another [personal record], and a sub-10.9 would be good. |
I've always loved Mickey Mouse. I even have a Mickey Mouse tattoo on my right leg. |
I've got to work on my start, to say the least. |
If I get a start like that (in the final) god knows what will happen. |
In college, you just thought about having fun. Now you have to think about making money and putting food on the table. It's become more of a job. |
It'll be like the Olympics, only indoors. It's a great field. |
It's going to be an exciting race. I know she's training hard. That's the sort of person she is. |
It's my way of acknowledging those less fortunate who have suffered through the devastation of the hurricane season this summer. |
The first world (best) is exciting, especially when it comes as a surprise. Sometimes you get on the track and you know that you've been running close to a world record and then it doesn't happen. Today is like an extra blessing and it was a really nice thing to happen. |
