Playing in Copa is amazing. The energy is electric and it absolutely does elevate play, it is going to be amazing to play in front of such crazy, passionate fans. It is something we all relish.

Our goal is to play our best volleyball here in Rio, every single match come out and show up and be at our best, we really don't think about the result. We just know how we want to play.

It can sometimes be a challenge transitioning partners, but April is such a hardworking athlete and overall wonderful person, we definitely have the same mentality and are super focused. No matter how good we each are individually, it takes time to build our morale and rhythm, so that's what we're working on every single day.

I don't like to speculate, because anything can happen, but I will say that April (Ross) and I are going to the Olympics to win and we are doing everything we can to set ourselves up for success, the level of play for beach volleyball for men and women is insanely high. There are no easy matches. In order to win this gold medal, April and I need to be extraordinary and that's what we plan to do.
