everybody happiness happy houston interested introduce people relationships
I was really happy to introduce Houston to a new sport, and I just want to let everybody know how interested I am to have relationships with people from my own city. I want to make a difference.
people
Let me tell you, we've never been buddies. We've been acquaintances but it's never been more than that. So for people to think there's a big problem, it was crazy.
eric
Speculation of doing what Eric did, I would like to downplay that a little bit.

He's doing what he has to do. You guys can determine if he's being selfish or not.

I'm like Roy Jones Jr. moving up to heavyweight. I picked up a new race and I got fifth in the world. I think that's pretty good.

I haven't talked to him. And probably won't talk to him.
hockey ice speed watched
I watched the ice hockey and never even glanced at the speed skating.
adrenaline nervous pressure pumping
That's the way I put pressure on myself. It makes me more nervous, and the more nervous I am, the more adrenaline I have pumping through my body.
energy expected gone laps race stay strategy
If I would have been the back, with the energy I had left, I probably could have gone through more laps when the race was done. The strategy we set out backfired on us. We expected KC to be able to stay in there and KC expected to stay. It wasn't in the cards.

I don't feel like there's been damage done to me for the Olympics because I'm not going to get five gold medals.

It's just going to be first 200 meters that determines the race for me.
gearing
This isn't important for me. This is just gearing me up for the big show.
focused power took
That 1,000 took a lot of power out of my legs. I didn't know how much it took out of me. I wasn't focused like I usually am.
backbone emotional team
It was really emotional for us. He's been the backbone of our team for a long time.
