QUOTE OF THE DAY

"I can’t thank Sharon enough for supporting me, she is my rock. I have wanted this so much for so long and it all came together, I knew I would need a PB but this is better than I could have hoped – this is reward for training so hard and doing all I can. World record is not out of reach," Sally Pearson, with help of Athletics Australia.
