We are very pleased with Gold Star Amusements owners Mike and Connie Featherstone for the midway they provide us and the way they operate it.

They've got good players. They're well coached. This is a big win for us.

Standing on the podium waving the American flag in a foreign country holding three gold medals while they play the national anthem, makes all the hard work and sacrifice worth it. She hopes someday to have that same feeling in the 2012 Olympics in London competing for the U.S.

You are sitting on a gold mine and not doing anything. Then there is no point in blaming us for taking patents for spices.

Regardless, we knew she'd want us to come back to Europe and go for the gold. While it was shocking when it happened, at the same time we knew what we had to do.

Nobody asked us how we'd like to receive (their gold medals). It sure wouldn't have been the way it was done. But you quickly realize the athletes have no say in what happens at the Olympics except for your performance. After that, you lose control.
