Channel your energy. Focus.

Life is about timing and overcoming difficult things.

It's all about the journey, not the outcome.

I never competed against athletes. I competed against perfection.

If you don't have confidence, you'll always find a way not to win.

I don't listen to music before a race - my coach doesn't like it, he thinks I might lose my focus and concentration.

Repeating is harder than anything else.

It's always a wake-up call to get beaten.

My favorite thing is always wings. That is my guilty pleasure.

Yeah, I am lazy. There's no doubt about that.

There is no stress. I live my life, I enjoy it and when I am comfortable I can get married.

If you think about racing too much you may just lose it a little bit.

I know what to do and I go and execute.

I swim when I am injured. What the best guys do is so hard. Michael Phelps is the best.

Come on... when you're running, if you see you're going to win, you're going to celebrate.
