"I made my first Olympic final at the age of 29. It gave me a kick. Everything is possible. Even if people don’t believe in you—you’re good but you’re never going to be the best—that’s not true. You can put the work in and be the best.”

“When you step on the block—and I don’t think I’m an exception—my best race I can’t ever remember what happened. I just blackout before the block and then I touch the wall and look for my name. Everything is automatic because I trust my process. I trust that I’ve done it a thousand times in practice.”
