My Faith Inspires Me So

It Was All Kind Of A Whirlwind At The Beginning. I Didn't Really Realize That I Had A Special Gift From God. It Was Probably Towards The End Of High School In My Senior Year When Things Really Started To Come Together And I Realized That I Had More Potential And That I Could Do This As A Career And That The Olympics Were A Possibility.

Right Now I'd Say My Favorite Fashion Designer Is Zac Posen.

You Know, I Love Wearing Heels. I Wish I Could Wear Them All The Time, But, You Know, My Sport Doesn't Really Permit It.

I Had Worked So Hard; That Was My Opportunity. And My Mom Was Just Able To Turn It Around For Me. She Helped Me To Be Able To See The Other Side Of Things And That This Is Not The End For Me.

My Mom Always Has This Amazing Ability To Always See The Best In A Situation. In That Moment [when Finished 2nd In The 200 Meter Race In The 2008 Olympic Games] I Was Just Completely Devastated. I Mean, I Had Worked So Hard; That Was My Opportunity. And She Was Just Able To Turn It Around For Me. She Helped Me To Be Able To See The Other Side Of Things And That This Is Not The End For Me. She's Just An Amazing Supporter And An Encouraging Person And She Has A Unique Ability To Do That. And So Those Are The Kind Of Things She Said To Me In That Moment And Over The Next Four Years. When Things Get Tough, She's Always Been My Strength.
