There was nothing I could do. I was pushed and spiked. I am disappointed. But it happened to El Guerrouj in Atlanta and to Gail Devers here. Anything can happen.
Injuries are part of sport.
I'm disappointed not to get a medal in my last Olympic Games. The final heat runners knew a reasonable pace could give them the majority of the six fastest loser spots on offer and they duly obliged. However the referee quickly added the Kenyan to the qualifiers after the end of this heat for an unspecified reason. I could see that some of the other guys were too anxious, and wouldn't be able to handle it at the end. I'm feeling pretty calm right now.
