Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You was born in Inglewood, California and in 2004 graduated from Gulfport High School, where you became state champion in the long jump and triple jump, you later attended MGCCC and the University of Mississippi and went on to become a world-champion long jumper. You reached the pinnacle of success at the 2009 World Athletics Championships, in Berlin, where you won the long jump title with a jump of 7.10 meters. What factors do you consider were responsible that made you achieve that?
Ms. Brittney Reese:
The main factor that is responsible for my success in 2009 is placing 5th in the Olympics that prior year. In Beijing, China I was devastated that I was left off the podium after working so hard to be there. The ride back to the Olympic Village was the longest ride in my life. I sat on the bus and cried the entire way and made a promise to myself that I would never get left off the podium again. So going through that loss has always played a significant part of my success and it started in Berlin.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
