 For kids it's natural to be competitive. |
| Being a decathlete is like having ten girlfriends. You have to love them all, and you can't afford losing one. |
| We live in the best place on earth but at times the worst. |
| If you're not in it you can't win it. |
| But if kids take up things like hockey and football they will go back to it. |
| Sport fosters many things that are good; teamwork and leadership. |
| When I lost my decathlon world record I took it like a man. I only cried for ten hours. |
| Most people doing the decathlon these days are quite boring, so people don't relate to them. |
