"My focus now is to work hard in training so I can make my country proud in my first appearance in the Olympic Games."

"My first performance in athletics made me realize how I had wasted time in football and handball."

"The silver medal for me was a sign that I would achieve a lot in athletics if I gave it time and work hard."

"I am proud of my performance at the Peace Marathon. It has shown me that I can be more productive in the Olympic Games if I improve my preparations."
