- A year ago today I was unable to walk having suffered a stroke. Thanks to the mindset learned as an Olympian, 2 months later I was back running! Today I’m thankful to my family, friends, fans, and @mjp360 for the incredible support! #strokesurvivor #health #Olympics #motivation
00:00 - On this day 24 years ago I completed the historic 200/400 double and broke the 200m world record. Very proud to have realized this dream! And today I can still fit in the uniform!!!😁
- Thanks to all of the @BBCSport audience. I appreciate all the compliments! 🙏🏾 This was a tough one for us. To answer the question why I choose to work for BBC. I like to team with the best!
- Putting this to rest! Winning ANY Olympic🏅 is incredible. I was always favored for 🥇 so 🥈🥉 would be disappointing. But if I were a projected finalist,🥉 is a win! Don’t listen to people whose only sport is stirring up shit. Regardless how many followers they have. #Olympics

- A month ago today I suffered a stroke. I could not walk. Doctors said only time will tell if I will recover or to what degree. Its been grueling work but made a full recovery, re-learned how to walk and today doing agility drills! Thanks for the messages of encouragement! 🙏🏾
- Good accurate explainer of the effects on the body of sprinting 400 meters. Understanding this process was key to me breaking the WR and consistently running 43 seconds.Explainer video on science of why the 400m sprint is considered the most painful track & field event. And why “no person on the planet can run the 400m all out from start to finish". The race pushes the way the body creates energy to the limit: ▫️0-50 meters: ATP-CP (energy
