I'm excited. It's not everyday you get to see face- to- face with a world- class athlete. A world- class Olympic runner. He was in the 2003 1500m Men's Gaz De France international meet finals. He was alongside the greatest runner of the era, Hicham El Gerrouj. He is simply world- class. He is in the top ten 1500m runners on Earth. Can you imagine how good is that? I'm not exaggerating.
Kevin Sullivan. 33. 1500m personal best: 3: 31. Top 1500m runner in Canada. Holding both 1500m and 3000m indoor records in Canada. And this season, he's currently the best white in 1500m. 3: 31 is not world- class. It's in the better league of the world class.
A few days ago the Canadian Olympic team came to Gombak. And I saw Canada's top 1500m runner training. High knee lifts. Powerful strides. And that no- nonsense, serious and world- class competitive aura. Do you know how big is Canada? That guy beat anybody else in the entire Canada in running. And he's here now in Singapore. Running around while i'm training with my buddies.
Kevin's an exceptional athlete of great intense focus. He must have a strong mind to go that far.
I might meet him tomorrow on the track. Might run against him.
