My goal is one Olympic gold medal. Not many people in this world can say, 'I'm an Olympic gold medalist.'

If I bring back only one gold people are going to say it's a disappointment. But not too many of them own an Olympic gold medal so if I get one I'm going to be happy.

Winning an Olympic gold medal is like nothing else.

I wouldn't say that there's ever been an Olympic champion that didn't deserve to win an Olympic Gold Medal.

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

There was a lot of politics going on, and Ireland were denied an Olympic gold medal in 2008.
