I very much looked up to Janet Evans and Summer Sanders.

I actually love swimming but I just hate jumping in the water.

Cooking a fantastic meal is therapeutic. I like the entire process-the chopping, the stirring. At the end, hopefully you get to enjoy a great meal with a friend or loved one.

I was tempted my junior year to go out of college and forgo my eligibility. I had broken several world records. I did have a lot of people telling me that I should go pro.

I like to take mustard baths. I combine 4 lbs Epsom salts, 3 oz mustard powder, 12 oz powdered milk, and 1/2 cup baking soda, add in 12 drops each of rosemary and eucalyptus essential oils, then whisk it and pour 1/4 cup of the mix into the tub while warm water is running.

The pressure of the Olympic Games is real overwhelming.

When I was little, I wasn't so little. I had a big old round belly and I was really clumsy, but I was super confident.
