I missed the final of the World Championships in 2009, but I told the coach I would break the world record in 2010. Which I did. Then in 2011 I won the World Championships and now in 2012 it is the Olympics. That is how I have been working.

I come from the state of Michigan. We were the first English-speaking government in the world to outlaw the death penalty, back in the 1840s.
