What people need to know is that asthma isn't a minor 'wheeze-disease.' It kills over five thousand people in America every year, and I could've been one of them.

Once I leave this earth, I know I've done something that will continue to help others.

Winning is great, but being able to finish my last Olympic Games on American soil was very important. Even though I was injured, I didn't let my psyche get the best of me and cause me to doubt myself, so I was willing to pull every muscle in my body in '96 in order to get the job done and I came away with the bronze medal.

Even if the person doesn't know what the internet can do, we can bring it to them and show how it can make a difference in their lives.

Even at 10 or 12, I was a hot, fast little cheerleader.

People assuming that because I'm a great athlete, I can dance. But no. My rhythm is off a little bit.

I might attempt Zumba. I haven't yet, but I thought it would be a lot of fun and different.
