I've heard so many stories of young girls watching the Olympics and being inspired by it, and they want to do it now, and that's really cool.

As you get older, there are going to be a few more challenges, but thankfully I'm still feeling good.

I had worked so hard; that was my opportunity. And my mom was just able to turn it around for me. She helped me to be able to see the other side of things and that this is not the end for me.

I think every genius person has a bit of insanity.

Competing at the Olympics is the pinnacle of your career. Everything is amplified, and you feel so proud to represent your country. You're there with athletes from all over the world. Everyone is coming together, putting differences aside.

I'm just competitive. It doesn't matter what it is. I want to win.

I feel like my name completely does not belong on that list [of great athlets], but I'm completely grateful for everything that they [Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Florence Griffith-Joyner and even Wilma Rudolph] have done.
