I've always loved God, His creation, the plants, the trees and the animals. Mum went to church and sent us to Sunday school.

I've seen God in His creation and I've always loved Him. People might think I'm sick, but the Lord has turned my life around. I now know why I had to run again and win that fourth gold medal, to make a mark in people's minds. He is now using my situation to tell people about Him. We truly have a great God.

I can understand how evolution says, "don't believe in God", but I've never had this problem. I've always loved His creation. Unfortunately, this doesn't mean any_thing to some people, and I just don't get that! After all, if you just read the Bible plainly, it tells you everything. From Creation, to the Flood, to Jesus. I can't see how you can come to the conclusion, there is no God.

My parents always encouraged me and I had a good home life. We were always taught to respect things and other people. It's so different today, because children are just not taught the right way.

I always felt free when I ran. I suppose that's what was good about it.

My salvation was a free gift. I didn't have to work for it and it's better than any gold medal that I've ever won.

You've got to stick at a thing, a particular thing, until you succeed.I feel that's the only way to succeed - by concentrating on something in particular. Once you know what you've got to do you will succeed, you will succeed.
