I knew that life isn't always just about the Olympic gold medals and the sponsors.

I'm not a celebrity. I'm just the same Simone. I just have two Olympic Gold medals now.

I have won all the medals that I can win over the 20 years, except for an Olympic gold. I won't miss the chance this time.

It took me time to realize that the men who won Olympic gold medals in the decathlon are just men, just like me.

I'm just sorry I couldn't come home with a second Olympic gold medal.

Winning an Olympic gold medal is like nothing else.
