“I’m good. Just bouncing back from yesterday, staying focused, and I’ve got to get to the finals so that I can get a medal for my team.”
 
“This is why I do two events and not one. (It’s) so that when things do not go one way or another, I’ll be able to make up for it in the other one.”
 
“To have a second event is just a blessing, and I’m thankful that I’m strong enough to do it.”
