I Love My Tribe, The Maasai Are

My Father's Encouragement Is What Has Brought Me This Far, Because When I Grew Up I Wanted To Be Like Him, And I Knew I Had That Ability To Become An Athlete. Being An Olympian Is One Of The Greatest Things, And Being An Olympic Gold Medallist Is One Of The Most Prestigious Titles In The World.

I Love My Tribe, The Maasai Are Very Good People And Humble.

It's Something Special To Break The World Record At The Olympics.

My Family Means Everything To Me And The Birth Of Our Daughter Has Enabled Me To Have More Focus On My Career And Every Time I Compete, I Dedicate My Success To Them.

Already In 2007 I Thought I Would Be Able To Break The World Record In The Near Future. That Time Sammy Tangui Was The Pacemaker In Lausanne. I Liked The Way He Was Running. He Is Tall, He Has A Strong Body And His Stride Is Similar To Mine. I Told Him In One Of The Coming Years I Would Need Him When I Try To Break The World Record.
