She has the true combination of a champion. They're hard to find, I'll tell you that.

The spirit, the sportsmanship during the Games ... she loves that kind of stuff.

She has the capability to suffer. When everybody else is falling off the pace ... when a race gets really tough, she just keeps going.

A true champion can adapt to anything.

Getting here was hard, winning here was really hard. For us to be the champion, I don't think there's a word for it.

A true champion will fight through anything.
