Australian sprint star Lachie Kennedy won't hide the simple reason he prioritises 100m success over everything else.
The answer can be found when you type "world's fastest man" into a search engine.
"It's not going to show you whoever won the 200, it's going to show you who won the 100," Kennedy said.
"I actually do love running the 200 and 60 - they're refreshing - but they're refreshing in that I'm not as invested in those times.
"I train my 200 so I can be a better 100m runner. I love the 100, I'm obsessed with it and it's the ultimate event.
"All eyes are on it and it also gets the most glory."
Kennedy is chasing plenty of "hardware" when he runs the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay at the Commonwealth Games.
The 22-year-old has run multiple sub-10-second times in his preferred event this year, including twice posting 9.96 seconds on the way to claiming his first national championship in April.

Breaking Patrick Johnson's 23-year-old national record (9.93) is on the cards, and Kennedy has dreams of becoming the first Australian to burst through the 9.90 barrier.
That might be tough for the Games debutant at Glasgow's Scotstoun Stadium, however, where sprinters could encounter less than ideal conditions.
But this time it's not the clock that matters most for a young man in hurry to make a significant impact on the sport.
"Competitions like this are the few times where I would say winning is probably more important than the time you throw down," Kennedy said.
"I can't speak for other events but the men's 100m is pretty stacked.
"You've got world champs finalists and multiple guys who have run under 9.9 who are going to be there.
"I'm going to need be at my best if I'm going to come away with some hardware or potentially win the whole thing."
Kennedy welcomes that pressure, determined to step up on the big stage.
"A lot of it's between the ears at this level," he said.
"Everyone's talented, everyone's fast, so if you can really manage and be the boss of your brain and your mentality, I think it's a huge advantage.
"That's something I've definitely been working on and I think it is a big strength of mine as well."
