When and why did you get involved in your winter sport?

What do you most enjoy about the sport?
“I like that track is a sport where you don’t really have to think about anything, you can just relax and do well, unlike other other sports, like football, which I also liked playing, where you constantly have to think about the plays, so you know what you have to do.”
What are your track events?
“I am a sprinter and I run the 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash and the 400-meter dash.”

Outside of athletics, what do you like to do?
“Outside of athletics, I like to go out with friends and just hang out.”
