To finish off this whole Olympics by finally getting the gold medal, it's the best feeling in the world.

Well-I don't know if anyone would really ask me to prom.

My coach, Liang Chow, had one rule while I was training for the 2008 Olympics: no skiing. I could do anything I wanted outside the gym, he said, except ski.

I feel like when there's so much conversation about women's athletics right now, we need to focus on their performance and their skill.

I don't call them sacrifices. I call them exchanges.

I have a lot of expectations and a lot of goals I want to fulfill, but the biggest dream is still to make the Olympic team for London.

It's been strange and weird watching the other girls at the U.S. Olympic trials just because I was training to be out there myself.
