You have to have the right mind-set.

The sport I love has taken me around the world and shown me many things.

Winning doesn't always mean being first. Winning means you're doing better than you've ever done before.

I was really happy with my race, though. I beat my personal best by 1.2 seconds.

I wasn't really expecting me to win the gold in this race. To get another medal for myself and for the U.S. was a pretty good thing to happen, I'd say.

No matter what the competition is, I try to find a goal that day and better that goal.

Even though I enjoy that head-to-head competition part, one of the things that drove me to long track was if I won or if I lost I want to know it's all on my shoulders and it didn't have anything to...

This Olympics is almost a little sad. It is my final Olympics. There are a lot of good memories.

Even though I enjoy that head-to-head competition part, one of the things that drove me to long track was if I won or if I lost I want to know it's all on my shoulders and it didn't have anything to...

I just hope I can get another personal best. If I can do that, I'll be satisfied.
