Some athletes have different circumstances and their own reasons why they don't compete in certain meetings and that's up to them, but I think head-to-head rivalries bring a lot more excitement to the sport, for me, when I compete, I try to put on a good performance for the fans, just make it exciting and not focus on whether I’m going to win or lose. Once you do that, everyone wins because the sport wins.

There's a lot of great athletes out there and events like mine, like the men's high jump and both men and women's hurdles that are really competitive, i think somewhere, something has gone wrong in the marketing of the sport but if the right people are in the right positions, I still think the sky's the limit for track and field.
