Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Who has been your biggest influence and motivation in your path to success?
Ms. Sanya Richards-Ross:
This is a tough question. It’s impossible to name one. I’ve been tremendously influenced my different people at different times. My parents at a young age to work hard and never give up. Merlene Ottey when I started running in Jamaica because of her grit, positivity and poise. Jackie Joyner Kersee, as I got older, for her passion and humanity. Tatyana McFadden for her unbelievable spirit and excellence. I see myself in so many people and they all inspire me to be my best.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have been associated with Lance Armstrong in the fight against Cancer on the Livestrong campaign, and was chosen to don a custom made Livestrong uniform and golden spikes at a recent competition. This association has been dear to your heart, tell us how you have been able to achieve and quench your thirst of giving back to the society through this endeavor of your?
Ms. Sanya Richards-Ross:
I was excited to be a part of the Livestrong Cancer campaign because I have quite a few family members that have been affected by this devastating disease. It’s an epidemic that has touched almost every family I know. Anything that I can do to raise awareness, funding and ultimately help towards a cure is my duty!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
With exceptional hard work you are credited with all your achievements. “I would say my faith plays the biggest role in my success,” You told The Christian Post. “If I weren’t an avid Christian and believed that God was always working in my life, I don’t think I would have had that moment in 2012.” Do you believe that does the hand of Providence (Supreme Being) played a role in your success?
Ms. Sanya Richards-Ross:
My faith is the most important part of my life, sports and everything that I do. I believe I was given my gifts from God and what I do with them is my gift back to Him. I believe all things happen together for our good and I am a part of a bigger plan. I walk by faith and pray that my life is a blessing to others.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
