I had dreamed of being at the Olympics since I was 7 years old.

It was a dream come true for me to be at the Olympics.

My childhood dream was to win the Olympics, and I've done that. Everything else is icing on the cake.

Getting to the Olympics was, has always been, my swimming dream since I was 8 or 9 years old. You know, right after I started swimming it was, 'I want to make an Olympic team. That's where I want to be.'

Like every other athlete, I always dreamt of playing at the Olympics, and it feels really good to see that dream materialize.

The Olympics is a dream of mine.

I am very happy my Olympic dream has come true.

I started Little Athletics when I was five years old, but my Olympics dream started when I was 10 years old.

To win Olympic gold has been a dream for me for seven or eight years now, so it was amazing to actually achieve that.

Fighting at the Olympics has been my lifelong dream, and I cannot believe I am there now.
