I'm no expert standing at a podium giving speeches. I share heartbeats. Compassion.

When I was standing on the podium, actually, I found her in the crowd and I don't think I have seen her happier before. Her smile was very big, and it made me really satisfied. It makes me remember the whole way that I've gone through, many years of hard training.

I don't like giving speeches - I enjoy sitting on my rump.

When you give to others, you give to yourself.

The greatest memory for me of the 1984 Olympics was not the individual honors, but standing on the podium with my teammates to receive our team gold medal.

I typically enjoy a beautiful beach destination, as I find the water and sand to be the most replenishing.
