For the Olympics I am purely focused on the 400. I believe that I stand quite a good chance there now, so I don’t think I’m going to gamble too much at Rio.

She's fighting for something beyond just track and field, she's fighting for woman in sports, in society and I respect her for that, i will support her and with the hard work and talent that she's been putting into the sport. With what she believes in and what she's dreaming for, I've got a lot of respect for her.

We are trying to take the correct decisions now early in the year so as not to put myself in any harm, it was a bit chilly this entire week prepping and coming through here as well it was quite cold and it caused bit of tightness in my leg. We decided to not risk it.

I'm excited to go out there and train with them, it's the world best Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake and Warren Weir, i feel I can learn a lot from them and can improve myself as an athlete.

It's great. I'm going out there and competing, trying to stay as clean as possible and it's nice knowing the game is going to be fair, it's good to know they are going out there and digging out the guys who have been cheating. It's not a nice feeling knowing you are putting your all out there and somebody else is cheating.

I still have a big year ahead of me and I’m going to try and find myself the appropriate races to race and find myself the right competitions to compete at so that I can find fitness before the Olympics at the end of the year.

At the moment I am just focused on improving me and if that means I get my own personal world record then I will accept it.
