cause great help home memories olympics people share supported
Its great to come back after the Olympics and see all the people from home that have supported me. It's great to be able to share all the memories and help support a great cause like this.
compete develop good happy help lap speed talked time
I'm going to go out there and compete like I always do, but at the same time I'm going to use it to develop speed for the first lap of my 1,500. I think that's a good thing. I think it's going to help me, so I'm happy Bart talked me into it.
focus helps stay
I think it really helps to stay away from that and really focus on what you are here for.
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.

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.
damage five gold olympics
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.
determines race
It's just going to be first 200 meters that determines the race for me.
