The feeling of accomplishment welled up inside of me, three Olympic gold medals. I knew that was something nobody could ever take away from me, ever.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
To have this gold medal around my neck is an indescribable feeling. I'm the happiest person right now.
I still can't believe I won the Olympics. That's what I feel right now - completely alive as a human being. It's a really beautiful moment.
Over the years, I've made many sacrifices to win two Olympic gold medals and put together winning streaks that will never be broken.
To be part of something special, to be an Olympian and have the chance to win a medal - it's an amazing feeling.
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.
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 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.
The greatest feeling of accomplishment for me is the fact that I was an athlete who was somewhat disabled.
