I come into these competitions to win, not to get silver or bronze, so it is frustrating.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People think the gold medal is yours and they say you're going to win - but they have no idea how hard it is. People aren't doing it negatively - they're mostly lovely and they really do want you to win - but they don't understand the difficulty and intensity of competition.
I am pleased I went from fourth back into a medal position, but bronze is not good enough for me.
I think every fight is a tough fight, but I'm not settling for a bronze medal.
When you've won a gold medal and you're at the top of your sport, everyone's trying to beat you. I find that incredibly motivating.
I don't rank competitions - every single one is the Olympics to me.
I've dominated past competitions, but I've sweated blood and tears for every medal. I take nothing for granted, and I'm fully focused on doing my best.
We can't all win Olympic medals. Even I never won one.
I try to win every tournament.
I got a bronze medal and I can't complain about that, the only African-American to get a medal in the Winter Olympics.
It's insane to have won all those things - not possible. But what I love is learning, which never stops and is nothing to do with the medals you've won.
