Sportspeople From Virginia

"It was great. This one was a little bit different. I didn’t have two great rounds, and had to rely on my experience to get me through the final"

"But I knew what I had to do, I knew what I was missing. With that being said, a big shout-out to the sports staff. Everybody was telling me, ’You’ve done this a million times before, you’ve just got to do it again"

"It’s a world championships, you’ll always have nerves for the world championships wherever you’re at"

"I think I can put grace in it and hang up the 60m hurdles and try out a new event next year"

"To win three indoors and three outdoors, I think I’m the first person in history to ever do that. That’s an amazing stat"

"But I’m young, I’ve got a lot of races under my belt, so I’ll take this with a grain of salt and I keep moving forward"

"This was not the outcome that I wanted but it enables me to say I’m an Olympic medalist"

"I put myself in these high-pressure situations. I just wanted to just make sure that when the gun went off, I took care of my lane, my space. So I put enough of a gap to where I kind of had it squared away. I just had to make sure I didn't knock down any hurdles"

"It's a lot of mental work"

"You need a lot of mental fortitude. I say, ‘Alright, if I don't do this, let's do some push-ups.' It's like a punishment. You put yourself through those situations so that you know exactly what you need to do to win"

"And you know, my coach calls me crazy sometimes because I kept saying, ‘Again, again, again, again.’ I just want to make sure that practice makes permanent. And as I always say, ‘Permanent makes paper"

"I’ve accomplished all my lifetime goals"

"I turned pro in 2019, so in almost five years I accomplished everything that I wanted to do in track and field. So this is the tough part, I have to continue to find ways to get motivated"
