Freeman said that from now to Sydney would be a matter of keeping in check her emotions, enthusiasm and imagination. She is by no means cocky. Despite dominating her event this year she is wary of athletes' ability to rise to the big occasion. I certainly am getting really nervous, so I've got to be really careful and control my emotions. I'll be wanting to go very, very hard.
People start panicking.
They start thinking that maybe they haven't done enough work, and time is running out, so it's really important to me to have confidence in knowing that the work I have done up to now is enough. I just want the fairest decision to be made. I've put up my hand to run, but the girl who's the best over that distance should run. Privacy Policy Copyright 2000. The Sydney Morning Herald.
