"I watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Barcelona back in 1992 with my grandma and immediately I was hooked by sport. My whole life I worked hard at every sport I took part in. One night I tried race walking, a sport I only saw at track meets. I went like a bullet and won the race. I never trained for it but I was instantly hooked." (walkingthedream.com, 28 Apr 2016)
