We just had to keep our composure and play as a team and we couldn't go wrong. We were down 10, came back and proved that we're the champions.
I was only 24 then, but 18 of those 24 years had been dedicated to wanting to get to that moment.
About two weeks after he was born, I got back and started jogging and running. Now I'm full blast and I hope to make my return pretty soon.
Our lives are so hectic and full, and we have a big family right now.
I'm for a drug-free sport and always will be.
In my opinion, Jackie is the greatest female athlete ever.
A lot of women say they love being pregnant, but I wasnt such a big fan.
I like cooking - I make a good stir-fry and the family likes it when I make stewed chicken and macaroni and cheese.
I'm a jock and I'm an athlete, and that's what I love to do.
I train so hard to make sure failure doesn't happen. If I do everything I can, and run as fast as I possibly can and someone still beats me, I don't think of that as failure.
I did pretty well at the Sydney Olympics, but those were my first Games.
I've set no world record.
My father wasn't really involved and my mom is the light in my life.
I loved having my baby inside of me, but I was very happy when he was finally here.
