I'm looking forward to (today). It'll be a life-changing day for me.

Today is a good day. Today is a happy day. The war is over,

Drugs is not the way to go.

I want to thank Canada for embracing me and making me a Canadian citizen. I want to thank Pierre for all his skill in driving.

Canada is more competitive than Jamaica and my goal was to prove to the world that I could be good at something.

The medal is the icing on the cake. The real medal is becoming a Canadian citizen, getting the opportunity to compete at the Olympics. That's the gold medal.
