I haven't let the gold medal out of my sight; it sleeps next to me in bed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To have this gold medal around my neck is just bonkers and still hasn't really sunk in.
Through everything I've gone through- and I've been everywhere, at the top of the world, in jail, hung over drunk - I never gave up my dream of winning a gold medal in the Olympics.
It really means a lot that I won the gold medal - but I woke up the next morning expecting to feel different. I felt the same.
I'm just glad my gold medal's at home, because I'd hate to try to win another.
I can fall asleep anywhere.
I don't know where my first gold medal is.
Unfortunately, I have a child who doesn't sleep.
To have this gold medal around my neck is an indescribable feeling. I'm the happiest person right now.
For six years, I kept my five Olympic medals wrapped in a plastic bread bag beneath my bed.
When we lost, I couldn't sleep at night. When we win, I can't sleep at night. But, when you win, you wake up feeling better.
