Unfortunately, I don't usually get to see much outside the Olympics as I compete almost every day. I have been to Rio a few times and got a tour of the sites. It is a spectacular city.

I want to thank GOD for everything he as done for me cause without him none of this wouldn't be possible.

Where I'm from, there is no violence, pretty much.

If you think about racing too much you may just lose it a little bit.

I have learned that if this is what I am going to do, and do it well, then I have to avoid drinking.

When people contact me on Instagram or Facebook, kids and adults, who say, "You're an inspiration. You make me want to work hard to achieve my goals." If I can still do that after I retire that makes me feel good.

I've worked hard over the years, I've been injured and I've worked hard through it, and I've made it.
