If the Palestinian Olympic Committee or Palestinian Federation provide good facilities to the athletes then maybe I can become better than these Bahraini or Qatari athletes.

I am very optimistic, and I wish that God almighty grants me success to get a qualifying time. Only then can I go to the Olympics. If this happens I will be the first Palestinian athlete to gain a qualifying time. This will be a big achievement.

I practice on the roads of Gaza as we don't have good stadiums and tracks so I gave my best.

I feel a freedom when I start running. If I don't train, I feel like everyone else in the Gaza Strip.

This has nothing to do with the (National Olympic Committee) or the (Austrian Skiing Federation), this was rented for private citizen.

If there's an incursion I don't go out of the house.
