It's insane to have won all those things - not possible. But what I love is learning, which never stops and is nothing to do with the medals you've won.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We can't all win Olympic medals. Even I never won one.
Trophies and medals have never meant much to me. I've had amazing experiences, which let you feel like you've accomplished something.
Olympic medals are the one medal that I don't have; I've won just about every other competition that I've been at.
Over the years, I've made many sacrifices to win two Olympic gold medals and put together winning streaks that will never be broken.
Honestly, it's not the medals that I feel so proud of. It's the way I conducted myself as an athlete, the hard work that I put forward.
Maybe there's a little girl who thinks she can be an Olympic athlete, and she sees all the things I struggled through to get here. Yeah, I didn't walk away with a medal or run away with a medal, but I think there's lessons to be learned when you win and lessons to be learned when you lose.
I'm extremely happy that I could win the gold medal. It's a special moment in my career.
I love what I do. I want to continue winning medals.
I've dominated past competitions, but I've sweated blood and tears for every medal. I take nothing for granted, and I'm fully focused on doing my best.
I was blessed with a long career where I won gold medals for myself and my country. Nothing stands out as a disappointment.
