When I was younger I used to play football and basketball but when I got into athletics I was obsessed with the sport. I first went into the long jump and 110m hurdles. But when I realized I had a very good technique in jumping over hurdles and I could run fast for a long time, I chose the 400m hurdles. It was just before 1997?.
