Being an Olympian, I always have this strong belief in excellence.

The experience of being an Olympian is one that can never be taken away from you.

I always said I wanted an Olympic medal. It's the pinnacle of any athlete's career.

I was like, 'I don't know if I could be an Olympian...' But my dad really influenced me to stay and be in the Olympics.

This gold medal, to me, is a very good outcome from the many years I've spent on my professional career.

I didn't want people to think of me as someone who wasn't impressed with a silver medal, because obviously that's a huge accomplishment, and I was so happy. It was more about me just being not impressed with falling at the Olympics in my last event.

I showed everyone the medal and they said, 'Ooh, I can't believe how heavy it is,' Sometimes they were more interested in the medal than in me. I was like, 'Hey, what about me?'

My goal is one Olympic gold medal. Not many people in this world can say, 'I'm an Olympic gold medalist.'

I kind of always took it for granted the fact that my parents were Olympic medalists.

When I picked athletics, I knew I wanted to be an Olympic champion.
