Great job, girls! It tops off great preparation we've had all week. |
I gave everything and I think I might have gone out a bit hard in the first 100m. |
I think America has always had that (intimidation factor) in the past. Now, I think it has reversed a little bit. I think we are probably pretty intimidating (to others). |
I think it's a good start for my short course swimming and it is even better for the longer distance games. |
I was dying a fair bit, in every stroke I was pulling, and they were getting louder and louder _ the crowd has a lot to do with it. |
I was going for the world record . . . but I wasn't feeling my best all week, so it was hard to determine what would happen. I could not believe it. I went into shock. I'm still in shock. I don't think I'm unbeatable - nobody is. |
I was shocked as I haven't been feeling the best all week. |
I was shocked by the performance as I haven't been feeling the best all week. I screamed out after I hit the wall because I was just in absolute shock. I couldn't believe it. |
I'm in absolute shock. I cannot believe it. It is absolutely amazing -- I was so nervous beforehand I had (stomach) cramps. |
I'm in absolute shock. It seems that 2006 has been the year for me. |
It was pretty exciting. All life experiences coming into one race. I'm comfortable with my result, I trust my coach and this is only a warm up experience. |
It was very exciting because I'm not known as a 50 swimmer and ever since I was quite young, I've had slow starts. I'm putting things into place now. |
It's funny that we are performing like them and are clean as a whistle. It's a nice comparison. |
Life has changed dramatically for me since the 2004 Athens Olympics. With every meet I'm learning more. I have no real pressure on me since I have both breaststroke (100m/200m) world records. |
That is amazing. My goal was to go 1:05.9. |
