People could see in me who I am now, an Olympic champ, the best in the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
That people believe I can be Olympic champ, it just spurs me on.
I think it was just me who thought I could be Olympic champion. I've been telling myself that, and I did that.
I don't know how many people really knew who I was before the Olympics and that's the fun thing of the Olympics - you get to know someone who captures your heart, hopefully.
I still can't believe I'm an Olympic athlete.
The highlight of my career? The Olympics, of course.
In my Olympic history I don't think I have achieved my potential as an athlete. That's what I want when I look back at my career. I want to be able to say I gave it my best shot.
I think I've gotten more attention after the Olympics than any other U.S. athlete, and it's really great that people are recognizing who I am and what I do. You look at Shaq and you see a basketball player. You look at Tiger Woods and you see a golfer. But people are responding to who I am.
I am European Games champion now as well as Olympic champion, European champion, and world champion.
I'm in awe of any Olympic champion, for sure.
If I'm able to win the world championships when I'm not even at my best, then with another year until Rio, maybe I could even become Olympic champion.
