He returned and got up from his own ash,” as a Phoenix.

Winning this gold medal is something special to me. Athletics is both mentally and physically. I think I mastered the mental side. Others do and talk about other things, but I just focus on myself and that's why I managed to get this victory. I feel great and I am excited that gold is returning home to Jamaica
