For so long I wanted to win the gold medal.Then I won. I had to figure out what was the new motivation to take myself to that place again.

I'm competitive. I like to compete, and that's basically what the decathlon lets me do.

I'm excited to be a part of the Olympic movement again.

You don't have to sacrifice who you are to follow your beliefs.

I love Broadway. And, I listen to country music, which I think a lot of people find surprising.

You take yourself to a place where you've got absolutely nothing left and then you find out you have to push yourself one more step. That's a tough place to be in.
