You dream about the Olympics for so long and you have that one day, then it's over, and when you don't run well there is this huge letdown. It took me years to deal with that. I feel like I almost had to cleanse myself of that experience.

clutch crucial game record scoring three today took win wind
It was very, very crucial for us to win this game today because (our record would be) 2-4 and then we'd have to win three of four. Webber had a clutch hit. I think that kind of took the wind out of their sails. That was huge. Scoring with two outs, that's just a bonus.
