It was awesome, everything I ever imagined. It's just so cool representing your country and meeting other athletes and being able to say, 'I'm an Olympian!' for the rest of my life.

She's a princess. She's just crazy.

I'm totally thrilled. It's really exciting. It's very, very cool. Everyone wants to have that title and now that I have it, it's very satisfying. To be among that great group of athletes is very gratifying.

It's been an amazing year - so many dreams have come true.

One thing that is too bad about the United States is that we get so caught up in the medal count.

We really are the best in the world.
