When I see how far we came from in 1984, when for the very first time, I competed in an event that was not allowed for women, which is the 400m hurdles, and all of a sudden now we see women running marathons like men, competing in boxing, in wrestling …we will witness a fantastic summer Olympic Games in Paris.

Well, for me the greatest of all marathons is of course the olympic marathon, but second place is Boston.

My wife gave birth to a baby girl soon after the Olympics and I named her 'Fatuma' after you.
