boundaries good man
I am working on my start, once I have a good start, I think I can go to boundaries that no other man has been to.
bigger consistent credit fast hopefully next quality races running year
I feel I established better credit to my name, being more consistent this year, running bigger races, and hopefully next year I can do the same thing, run quality races in fast times on fast tracks.
runs
I feel a little sore, tired, like any person that runs fast.
bad definitely faster
I most definitely can get faster than the 9.88 from Helsinki with that bad weather.
last people tired travelling
I'm very tired after all the travelling in Europe. I wanted to put on one last 200 metres to show people it wasn't just a one-off.

pleased season
I'm very pleased with my season this year. I think this season is even better than 2004,
call home knew places run time tracks
The first time I was in Icahn Stadium, I knew you could run sub-10 on that track. It's New York, hey. It's where I was born, where I was raised. There's not a lot of tracks I can call home, that have a home feel about them, and I think this can be one of those places for me.
good grab grip guys held nerves obviously onto stadium stick stuck taking
I just thought it was a little nerves from the start; a lot of these guys have never raced in a stadium that big. Leonard stuck out his hand. Mardy held onto the stick tight, a little too tight. Leonard went to grab it and obviously had a good grip on it, and he was taking it out of Mardy's hand, and Mardy still wouldn't let go.
rain winning what-matters
I'm still dominant and that's what matters, ... But rain, snow, sleet, it doesn't matter. I'm going to go out and try and win a gold medal.
champion world want
I ran like a champion. It is a great consolation to show how dominant I am. I am the Olympic champion and the world champion, but I want Justin Gatlin to be the champion of everything,
training had-enough enough
I have had enough rest and enough training,
kings mean gold
Double gold means I'm king of the sprints. It shows I'm the best sprinter around.
believe hard-work people
People mistakenly believe that if you do nothing but train you can only get better. You've got to work hard, but the harder you work the harder you must rest and relax.
