everybody happiness happy houston interested introduce people relationships
I was really happy to introduce Houston to a new sport, and I just want to let everybody know how interested I am to have relationships with people from my own city. I want to make a difference.
happy people second third
I don't go out there to place second or third. A lot of people would be happy to be third at the Olympics. But am I really happy with it? No.
acting people talked
People were acting like we were friends before we got here. We never talked that much as friends before we got here. We're competitors. That's what it comes down to.
people
Let me tell you, we've never been buddies. We've been acquaintances but it's never been more than that. So for people to think there's a big problem, it was crazy.
champion few good olympic people start
I feel good that I'm able to be one of the few people that can be in the 1,000 meters and still potentially be the 10,000-meter Olympic champion as well. The better my start gets, the more competitive I'm going to be.
accomplish amount certain coaches fact far higher known level people perform sex studies time tried until
It's a known fact from all the athletes, coaches and the studies and everything that people perform better, have a higher level of testosterone in their body, without having sex a certain amount of time before their competition. I tried it, and it is working so far and I'm going to keep doing it until I accomplish all my goals.
home people
For Americans at home and a lot of people around the world, they want to see a battle.
cause great help home memories olympics people share supported
Its great to come back after the Olympics and see all the people from home that have supported me. It's great to be able to share all the memories and help support a great cause like this.
bad beat people racing worried
I think we wanted to beat each other so bad that we weren't worried about the other 40 people out there. It's not about racing people. It's about racing the clock.
eric media people record specific tough
I think the media has thought a lot more about the Heiden record than I have. Eric has said that it's tough to do what he did in 1980 because people are specializing in specific events.
We have different philosophies on doing things, that's all it is.
bounce fastest game hurts second team
The team just didn't click. It hurts that we had the second fastest time. But that's part of the game and I am going to bounce back and show everyone what I can do.
crying felt situation
I've never been in that situation before, crying before a race. I felt like a sissy.
focused power took
That 1,000 took a lot of power out of my legs. I didn't know how much it took out of me. I wasn't focused like I usually am.
