Hide captionJune 4, 2010: Diamond League Oslo (1st, 12.66s): "I actually had a couple bad races before Oslo. I went to Korea and Ostrava and had two really bad races and was really frustrated. I pulled things together and fixed it in Oslo."

The times where I have really nailed my start there has been a headwind which has kept me from getting a 12.4 time. At USAs, I had a pretty perfect race but because we were dealing with a massive headwind, my time only showed a 12.69. If you convert that, it’s a really good time."

Hide captionJuly 22, 2010: Diamond League Monaco (1st, 12.63s): "I was really stressed because it was the shortest time I had ever gone over for a meet and then gone right back to the U.S. I crossed the waters just for that meet and I had never in my life done that before without having time to stay and adjust. That had me on pins and needles, but I think that helped me hone in and focus on what I needed to do."

Hide captionAugust 13, 2010: Diamond League London (3rd, 12.66s): "I actually got hit by Priscilla in the prelims and the final. My thumb was actually bleeding after the race. A hurdler always has a strong side and a weak side as they use their arms for balance. My arm was coming back and she was blocking it. She was on my right side in both races. The last couple of races I’ve been asking not to be on her left side. There are no hard feelings afterward. It’s just the hurdles."

Hide captionAugust 19, 2010: Diamond League Zurich (3rd, 12.81s): "I completely messed up mentally. That was the track where I pulled my hamstring and ended my season last year. When I got in the blocks and we were in the set-hold position, I had a mental image of me getting hurt on that track and had a brief snapshot of all that pain and frustration. That’s all it took for me to have a bad start. That just killed the race because when you are racing the elite in the world, you can’t just give people the first hurdle."
Associated Press
Hide captionAugust 22, 2010: ISTAF Berlin Grand Prix (6th, 12.90s): "It was the complete opposite of Zurich because I overcompensated. I got out with the pack but then I was turning it over too much and snapping my leg down too quickly instead of relaxing and just running the race. I have been at both extremes. I need to just put it together and be in the middle."
