“We are doing very well for our country internationally, but when we are in Jamaica, our athletes are not being looked after. We are selling our country and marketing our country to the world and not being paid for it.”
“I want to tell Jamaica, Happy 50th Anniversary.”
“I'm glad women's sprinting is taking the course it is.”
“I had a really bad running posture: like, I ran, literally, dropping on my face.”
“I just want to execute a good 200 m. and see what is the best I can do.”
“What has happened is just cases of athletes neglecting to correctly check the supplement they've had. It's not like they are deliberately or intentionally cheating.”
“My mum wouldn't let me go outside. Coming back from school, the gang men sometimes would say things, but I would walk by, never answer, and my mum would go tell them leave me alone.”
“When I came here at UTech, everybody was saying I was too short, and I shouldn't think about running fast; it's going to take me a while to run fast.”
“I don't dwell on things. When I won the World Championships in Moscow, I came back - that was it.”
“I think I get going because I try not to put added pressure on myself because a lot of times, you can be very good at what you do, but when you get ready, you have to be prepared to get it going.”
“I like colours. I like to be bright and bold.”
“I let my times speak for myself.”
“It all comes down to who wants it most.”
“We are the ones out there competing, and yet we read articles and listen to people making accusations about Jamaica, and there's nobody there to take a microphone, be a big person and say, 'What you're saying is wrong, and it's a lie.'”
“Sometimes things are a blessing in disguise.”
“No matter what comes, I will always work hard and do my best.”
“Because I knew how hard I worked, I knew the pain, I knew the sacrifice, I knew the tears, I knew everything. Despite everything, I stuck to it. I toughed it out, and I kept my head in the game, even when the odds were against me.”
“As athletes, our job is to train and compete.”
“I am one of those athletes who is very hard on myself.”
“I don't pay any attention to records. I don't want pressure. I just want to get to that line.”
