My Focus In 2010 Was On Just Running Fast Races. My Focus In 2011 Was For Winning At The World Championships. This Year Has Been A Combination Of The Two So We'll See What Kind Of Time It Brings.

Sometimes When You Get Disappointment It Makes You Stronger.

Going To The Olympics As A Maasai I Want To Make Them Proud Because, After The Warm Welcome They Gave Me When I Went Back And Being Their Leader, I Want To Also Be The Warrior In The Olympics. That Will Be Something Good Because That Will Be The First Olympic Gold Medal For The Maasai.

I Was Still Young When I Missed Beijing. I Was Favourite To Win A Medal But I Knew I Had Time. My Coach Advised Me To Stay At School And Finish My Exams. Even If I Had Gone And Won The Olympics, I Might Not Have Handled The Pressure. So I Moved On.

I Missed The Final Of The World Championships In 2009, But I Told The Coach I Would Break The World Record In 2010. Which I Did. Then In 2011 I Won The World Championships And Now In 2012 It Is The Olympics. That Is How I Have Been Working.
