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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was blessed with a long career where I won gold medals for myself and my country. Nothing stands out as a disappointment.
I hoped to win a medal and hoped it would be gold. I knew I was good but didn't know I would be the one to score something that had never been done before.
I'm extremely happy that I could win the gold medal. It's a special moment in my career.
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'm just glad my gold medal's at home, because I'd hate to try to win another.
Everyone is getting prepared for this, to win the gold medal. I am among them: I want to win the medal.
I didn't want people to think of me as someone who wasn't impressed with a silver medal, because obviously that's a huge accomplishment, and I was so happy. It was more about me just being not impressed with falling at the Olympics in my last event.
I was quite excited, but I was sure I wouldn't win the race. I am a realist.
Everybody expects me to win the gold medal.
I have never won a race, and that is my main disappointment - but you have to be positive.
