Seeing the Olympics come to China made me want to get more involved.

When you give your best, that's all you can ask of yourself, all that people can ask of you and all that god desires from you. No matter what the result, walk with your head held high.

I have lost a little bit of flexibility, but the doctors say with any kind of torn ligament it is not uncommon for the injury to take 16 months to be 100 percent healed.

I was always really strict on myself about doing everything possible to prepare for competition.

You know, I feel like if I don't change something, then the results maybe are going to continue the way that they have. That for me is not something that I want to really be a part of.

I didn't have the ability to blow people off the court, so I needed my legs, my preparation and the ability to think on my feet.

My knee feels good right now. I am definitely able to move about whichever way.
