It has been a long journey, but if you dream and have the ambition and want to work hard, then you can achieve.

There is so much to discover in Dubai.

I've got such a sweet tooth. I do miss the U.K. where you get sticky toffee pudding or custard, all that.

I love what I do. I want to continue winning medals.

Dubai is a safe place, and I never came across anything to worry about.

Look at my success. I didn't achieve it overnight. It has been the product of many years' struggle, and every year, my times have shown gradual improvement.

I believe no matter who you are, respect yourself, respect others.

The coach is the boss at the end of the day. I do whatever he tells me and don't ask questions.

I'd heard a lot about Dubai before I first visited and couldn't wait to go.
