I think I have made a difference. I have meant a lot to my people. I have done well. They are proud of me. And that was the main focus. I was doing it for my people, the people who support me.

I think sports are meant to unite people.

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

When I am in that lane, and I hear, 'Caster Semenya from South Africa,' I always know I am doing it for my people. They love and support me, and I will always do them proud; I will always put them first. Without them, I am nothing.

When you walk out of your apartment, you think about performing; you do not think about how your opponent looks. So I think the advice from me to everybody is just to go out there and have fun.

I am an athlete, and I focus more on the issues that concern me: training, perform, eat, sleep.
