Additional quotes by Hassiba Boulmerka

Every year it gets harder to balance my training, my friends, my other interests and my duty to visit my parents and take care of them.

That year I didn't run a single race in Algeria, It was simply too risky. I could have been killed at any moment.

As I crossed the line, I thrust a fist into the air, It was a symbol of victory, of defiance. It was to say:I did it! I won!

In athletics, on the track, I learned to suffer, to love my country, to concentrate, to take responsibility. - Hassiba Boulmerka
