| Why this sport? | He was inspired to take up the sport by the cockiness and arrogance of some members of the high school athletics team. "They were being all bossy and cocky walking around school and I told them, 'I'll come on the track team and I'm sure that I can beat one of you', and it all started from there. From that day everything went in a totally different direction I had never expected because track was the least thing from my mind." |
