I think that was what America needed and wanted and it was a really special moment that we shared out there on the podium,
I think I was definitely nervous before. I feel like there was a lot of pressure on me just having gone the world record and the Olympic record last night,
My first 50 felt really good, and then I've been working on my second 50 a lot, especially after last year I had kind of a weak finish, and I kind of died in my race, and like last Olympics also, I like lost it all in the last 50,
I feel like I’m in shock right now, like I don’t even know how to process it, like I need to cry but I’m also smiling,
Just getting out there, enjoying the crowd, a bit of adrenaline, and it’s put me in the best lane for the final, so we’ll see what we get there tomorrow,
Why not release this information at the time, who really benefits from the lack of transparency and secrecy?”
I embrace the nerves, I love the nerves, but whatever the result tomorrow, I want to finish with a smile,
Yeah, it was very good, happy to progress through the rounds like that, can’t ask for anything better,
Her and I talked about that a lot after last summer because when she got back,
I hope that I'm part of the reason why [the event] is so competitive now,
Every race is a sprint. Some are just longer than others."
My guess is it will take a world record to win that race,
Life is not just diving, it’s school, it’s her friends, it’s family, it’s being a rounded, balanced and kind person which, as a parent, I’m very happy about,
I just thought I’d fade into the background and be one of those athletes who’s there to make up the numbers,
