I am a dreamer. And what I dream of is to become Olympic champion, world champion, world record holder.

The Olympics is a special event and winning is very important. For me as a world record holder and world champion, the only thing I am missing is the Olympic gold medal and that is what I want to achieve in my career.

I'm probably a lot more closer in the 1500m to the world record than I am in the 5000m.

I've always been working just to be a world champion and it's a dream come true.

I wanted to be a world champion.

God made me the way I am, and I accept myself. I am who I am, and I'm proud of myself.
