Dawn Harper is one of my favorite athletes. The 2008 Olympic gold medalist and 2012 Olympic silver medalist, Dawn Harper lays it down on the track and gives no one any quarter. Her battle with Sally Pearson in London this past summer, in my opinion, was a better race than she ran in Beijing.
Dawn Harper takes the world’s fastest interview
Dawn Harper on Alicia Keys, Will Smith and Thanksgiving family-time at aunt Flossie’s house
Favourite holiday destination?
My aunt Flossie’s house in East St Louis where we meet every Thanksgiving and Christmas.
What did you have for breakfast today?
Ooops. It was really bad. I actually had a doughnut and a sausage, egg muffin from McDonalds.
If you could choose an another event other than your own to compete in what would it be and why?
The 100m. I love the pure speed of the event and to have the title as the fastest women alive would be awesome.
