Whether I'm 40, 50 Or

To This Day, Most People Think Of Me As The Fastest Human. They Don't Really Think Me As A Long Jumper, Although That's The Event I Had More Success In.

Scientists Have Proven That It's Impossible To Long-jump 30 Feet, But I Don't Listen To That Kind Of Talk. Thoughts Like That Have A Way Of Sinking Into Your Feet.

I'm Not Supposed To Be Able To Speak Clearly, And Decipher What's Going On In The Media. I'm Supposed To Be The Typical Amateur Who's 22 And Scared To Death And Can't Believe He Won The Olympics.

I Have No Intention Of Lingering Through A Season, Just To Have A Chance To Be An Alternate On A Relay. I Don't Want That.

There Is No Correlation Between A Childhood Success And A Professional Athlete.
