It is a huge relief to attain the London Olympic A qualifying standard early in the year
It will be great to make it to the podium and even win a gold medal at the Olympics. Going to the Africa Senior Championships in Benin is a good chance to sharpen up for the Olympics.
It's a huge relief to attain the London Olympic A qualifying standard early in the year, I owe a debt of gratitude to our pacesetter (Tjipe) who worked according to how we planned the race, it will be great to make it to the podium and even win a gold medal at the Olympic Games
I feel very special to run it after 21-years
My plan is to win gold, maybe to get to the podium, that is a very important thing to do, so we will just have to wait and see
The start was good and we had trained hard and planned to qualify in South Africa [ Images ]. There's now no need for me to go to the African championships and I know my plans for the European season, I must just be patient
I am very happy with the time, now I know what my plans for the European season are
Qualification is simple for me, and if I continue the way I've been doing at training, then I'm in
These days the programme is very tight. You know you can’t run both the 800 and 1500. I just need to focus on 800
It is good (to have Maria Mutola as coach). We are sharing experience. She won the world champs three times and the Olympics once. I think it is good, it is really working
It was ok for me. I retained my title but the race was a bit disappointing because we were hoping for a qualifier but unfortunately I didn't make it, but the time will come. I just need to be patient
It was OK for me because I retained my title, that's what's important ... It was disappointing because we were hoping for a qualifier ( time) and unfortunately we didn't make it. But the time will come. We just need to be patient.
It's really nice to see people running under the qualifying standards
An early qualifier will happen anytime soon. I must just focus and the qualifier will come
I enjoyed it ... I ran a little stupidly because I didn't take the lead from the beginning. I thought the other athletes would push the pace but we all learn from our mistakes. Everyone knows the Olympics is the most important thing this year but first I must set the qualifying time and we'll take it fr...
I ran a little stupidly because I didn't take the lead from the beginning
I will be looking for a fast time at the SA champs (South Africa’s national championships in Port Elizabeth in April) and will then run maybe three or four races before the Olympics
Maria is really good for me
