I learned a lot in Torino back in 2006, because you have this huge disappointment. And then, you know, it’s really easy to just let that disappointment linger, but you know what we have to just realize is we have the opportunity to come back here and be on an Olympic podium, winning an Olympic medal for the United States of America.

I tried to peek over there as little as possible, we knew that didn't matter.

I was never at this Olympics in a place where I was last Olympics, i’m just a different person. I’m a changed person from that experience.

I’ve been fortunate to have them with me at four Olympics, this is a chance for them to be at home and experience the Olympics with a lot of friends and family that have never come to the Olympics with us.

They’re getting a chance to see that other side.
