I felt so comfortable out there competing today, and it comes down to having four good teammates. |
I keep thinking back to Commonwealths in 2002 and remembering what a remarkable experience that was, doing so well with our team and winning a couple of individual medals. I really feel like my success in Manchester set a good stepping stone towards Athens. |
I'm always nervous before any competition and I guess I'm 18 months away but I was nervous because I have a lot of expectation to do well and I wanted to show that I'm still capable of winning world and Olympic medals. |
Our goal coming into this was to get that team gold that we were so close to in 2002. It wasn't a personal goal, it was a team goal. I think that's why I was more relaxed. |
The main objective for us was to win gold for the team and this was accomplished on Thursday. Everything else is an extra. |
We supported each other the whole way and, as the competition went on, we knew we were going to win. |
