I'm really, really happy, this was my main event. The sprint is a gamble, always very close, so I feel great about the win.

The sprint is sometimes like a toss of a coin. Sometimes it's heads, and sometimes it's tails.

I just want to prove that I am really good at something. And I haven't quite done that yet - at least not to myself. I know I could ride so much better, with more ease, with more finesse. I feel I'm nowhere near as good as I should be.

Eating vegetarian in the past would have been a really bad choice as an athlete. Impossible. Just being able to get the amount of protein in was a mission. You couldn't be picky. I feel quite liberated by the fact that I can now quite recklessly choose vegetarian food.

People say, 'Wow, you've achieved it all this year: two world championship wins and an Olympic gold medal.' And I think, 'Yeah, but how come I feel so unsatisfied and under pressure all over again?'

I went to Australia and did a three day hike with my fiance through the wilderness, which was nice.
