Kathrine Switzer Quotes - Page 2

• Perdoné a Jock Semple su acción en la carrera de Boston justo cuando llegué a Heartbreak Hill. Me quedaban 24 millas y no puedes correr 24 millas y seguir enfadado. Esa es la verdad.

• When I got the women's marathon into the Olympics and we had races all over the world I thought, 'That's great, now we're heading towards total equality.' Then you see that there are women who are still not allowed to drive, get an education, or travel unless they have a male companion or can't carry their passport. There are those who are mired with incredible poverty in North Africa, the mid-east, South East Asia and there's a ridiculous amount of human trafficking.

• Jock Semple and I began appearing at speeches together and he came up to me on the start line in 1973 and planted a big kiss on my cheek. He said in his Scottish brogue: "Come on lass, let's get a wee bit of notoriety." He never said he was sorry but that was his way of saying it, I'm sure.
