Being Disabled Doesn't Have To Be A

I Have Run Two Olympic 'a' Standard Times Over The Past 12 Months And With The Time I Ran At The African Championships Last Week I Know My Speed And Fitness Are Constantly Improving So That I Will Peak In Time For The Olympics.

I Wasn't Happy With My Performance At The World Championships In Daegu. I Had An Unbelievable Race In The Heats, But Misjudged The Semi And Finished Last.

I Don't See Myself As Disabled. There's Nothing I Can't Do That Able-bodied Athletes Can Do.

My Parents Didn't Give Me Any Scope To Feel Sorry For Myself. They Were Just Like 'go Play With Your Brother, Go Climb A Tree, Go Fall Off Your Motorbike, Do Whatever You Want. Don't Come Crying To Us When You Get Scratched. You've Got Prosthetic Legs - That's Very Nice.

I Don't Want To Be Competing In A Sport Where I Feel That I'm Here Not On My Talent And My Hard Work But Because Of A Piece Of Equipment.
