I Love My Tribe, The Maasai Are

Already In 2007 I Thought I Would Be Able To Break The World Record In The Near Future. That Time Sammy Tangui Was The Pacemaker In Lausanne. I Liked The Way He Was Running. He Is Tall, He Has A Strong Body And His Stride Is Similar To Mine. I Told Him In One Of The Coming Years I Would Need Him When I Try To Break The World Record.

I Love My Tribe, The Maasai Are Very Good People And Humble.

My Focus In 2010 Was On Just Running Fast Races. My Focus In 2011 Was For Winning At The World Championships. This Year Has Been A Combination Of The Two So We'll See What Kind Of Time It Brings.

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 Was Still Young When I Missed Beijing. I Was Favourite To Win A Medal But I Knew I Had Time. My Coach Advised Me To Stay At School And Finish My Exams. Even If I Had Gone And Won The Olympics, I Might Not Have Handled The Pressure. So I Moved On.
