I'm just sorry I couldn't come home with a second Olympic gold medal.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't know where my first gold medal is.
If I bring back only one gold people are going to say it's a disappointment. But not too many of them own an Olympic gold medal so if I get one I'm going to be happy.
I was blessed with a long career where I won gold medals for myself and my country. Nothing stands out as a disappointment.
It would be pretty special if I could win two Olympic gold medals, one at the Summer Games and one from the Winters, so I'm going to give it a real go.
I had already been into my professional career for six years and had not won an individual gold medal at the Olympics. There was a tremendous amount of pressure going into 1996 to get it done.
For so long I wanted to win the gold medal. Then I won. I had to figure out what was the new motivation to take myself to that place again.
I really wanted to come into the Olympics.
I'm extremely happy that I could win the gold medal. It's a special moment in my career.
I'm just glad my gold medal's at home, because I'd hate to try to win another.
I didn't think I'd be going for another Olympics.
