I would say it's not the journey that most people would have had.
00:03
I was a good youngster, went to the US on a track scholarship,
00:07
but ultimately didn't ever think I would be good enough to go to the Olympics,
00:11
so fully quit. Didn't step on a track for about five years
00:14
and then actually just got back into athletics in adulthood,
00:19
working around a nine to five, got in contact with my old coach
00:23
and over the past couple of years he's got me into track shape
00:27
and got me to the Olympics, so an unconventional story I guess you could say.
