The riders that come to compete in the Olympics are a different class. It's the first time for me to experience these three feelings of nervousness, pressure and deep frustration.

I'm absolutely crushed. The enjoyment of competing at the Olympics is double that of any other event but so is the disappointment when you lose. But I'll be back again in four years time.

This is probably the biggest game we've had since we won Class B in 1999. This is the first time we have been in this position. I'm proud of us, I really am. I thought we gave them all they could handle. I thought Nobles had to play right until the end.

This is probably the biggest game since we won Class B in 1999. This is the first time we have been in this position. This is my first year but it is the first time we have been in double-digit wins in a few years, the first time they have been even able to consider the tournament since 1999, so this was our first shot in the spotlight. I'm proud of us, I really am. I thought we gave them all they could handle. I thought Nobles had to play right until the end.

In a very short period of time, this class of variants arose from a single copy to many copies. That implies that this must have happened because of positive selection.

We're much faster, much cleaner off the ground. I can't remember in a long time when the whole [freshman] class brought so much. They're refreshing. They have no bad memories. We'll see what happens when a little adversity comes.
