I just want to make sure I get the medals that nobody said I could get, and especially the one I promised my grandfather ... Chase the medals, and the right one will come. That’s our philosophy with the Olympics.
I want it to be gold. I’ve always wanted it to be gold, and he wanted it to be gold. He would have been proud no matter what I brought home, but gold is why I was going. I’ve got my promise coating that medal. It’s the one that has eluded me. I understand both sides of that coin, I definitely do, but I just need my coin to be gold.
