I would say it was a pretty good battle over the years. I'd say it was a pretty good competition,

At some level, our competition is everybody.

I got sick of being ripped off by judges. I wanted a sport where there was direct competition; where it was up to you.

It's a huge meet, and you see some great competition. If you do well, it helps your confidence for next year.

For my first pretty big international competition and the Olympics, I think I did pretty well. Medals aren't everything. It's all about you going out there and having a good time. I feel proud of myself.
