I've won a world championship, I know how that feels. I don't know how it feels to win a gold medal. I want to feel that; I want to know that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel like at the Olympics I gave the best performance of my life and I wasn't rewarded for that as an athlete. Yes, my fans and my mom were happy about it, but I didn't win that gold medal.
I've learned that winning isn't everything, and it's more about the journey. But at the end of the day, I just want to stand on the podium with the gold medal.
I'm just glad my gold medal's at home, because I'd hate to try to win another.
You always dream of going to the Olympics and winning gold. I've learned over the years that there are lots of gold medals, but certain stories stick out and make a difference.
And I want a gold medal more than anything. I just want a gold medal, so that's been pushing me forward.
To have this gold medal around my neck is an indescribable feeling. I'm the happiest person right now.
I'm extremely happy that I could win the gold medal. It's a special moment in my career.
To finish off this whole Olympics by finally getting the gold medal, it's the best feeling in the world.
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.
When you win the Olympics, you hope that the medal that you get, that weight makes it feel like you really earned something.
