I have never won a race, and that is my main disappointment - but you have to be positive.

I just tried to keep my cool and continue with my race plan: to win.

I got into the race and people literally laughed. They thought I had no chance of winning.

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.

If you're scared to lose rather than excited to win, then that's the wrong way to approach a race.

I'm a competitor. I really enjoyed the race more than just going out and running to run.

I'm going to work so that it's a pure guts race at the end, and if it is, I am the only one who can win it.

I'm quite excited to think that I will run the Olympic race here next year.

It was a pretty wild ride. The race wasn't bad, but qualifying would take your breath.
