Betty Cuthbert

I realised from a very early age that God gave me a gift, and that gift was to run, and I wanted to use it to the best of my ability.

Everything I did that required effort, I opened my mouth. Even to catch a ball, I opened my mouth.

My salvation was a free gift. I didn't have to work for it and it's better than any gold medal that I've ever won.

I was just really excited to win the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m in Moscow and then, to top that off, to win the Diamond Race in the 100m and 200m.

I have dedicated my life to the 200m, I really love the 200m a lot.

Being famous gets me good concert tickets, good tables in restaurants, good seats at sporting events and that's really about it.
