I am so immensely proud to be representing my country at the Athens Olympic Games, that's more than enough for me.

I'm going to an Olympic Games, that's the bottom line!

This would have to be the toughest moment of my life, whether to swim an event at the Olympic Games or to look after one of your best mates.

The Olympic Games of the Modern Era began in 1896 in the city of Athens.

I was just speechless. To go in there (Olympic Trials) thinking, just hoping, to qualify for one event at the Olympic Games then to qualify for three events. I couldn't explain it.

and proud to be representing Filipinos.
