It's been really good to have a goal and go after it. That feels good

We typically don't choose our athletes until about a month prior to the Games because anything can happen.

You have to remember that no matter how big your goals or how many you have, there are going to be times when you miss by a little bit. You have to be realistic and flexible. One reason I have so many smaller goals is that even if my big goals don't happen, I've still achieved so much along the way, I don't feel the loss.

Other people may not have had high expectations for me... but I had high expectations for myself.

I don't believe that there's anyone in the world without a competitive bone in their body.

I thought about running a marathon a long time ago, but I'm just not a runner.

There's not a whole lot of events out there on television, especially in the years between Olympic Games.
