Everyone who has been to an Olympics says expect the unexpected. That kind of psychology games does go on, so I'm kind of expecting things to happen but I don't know who from. I think it's kind of silly but I'm prepared for it. I'd probably just laugh it off because it means that they are afraid of racing me, so it's like a huge compliment

I went through so many things personally, emotionally and mentally during that time off that I know that I'm better for it now and I think I'm a better athlete because of that.

I know I've made huge gains in my confidence, and knowing more about my racing and myself as a person. That has made me a better athlete

I really would like to start a family as well. Whether I can balance the two or have to decide one or the other way, I'm not sure what will happen.

It's so rewarding the journey that I've been on.

I could see myself still swimming because I'm really enjoying the sport. But at the same time I have this biological clock that is ticking.

The fact that I am as lean as I was in 2008, I'm stronger than I was in 2008 I think I have the potential to be as fast as I was.
