When I decided to go for four gold medals I planned it out over a few years. It was in four different events and there was a lot to it.

I'm very happy about this gold medal. I heard it was a record. I know I have four (gold) medals at home.

Three events. Three gold medals. I was news, big news, in the sports world.

Winning a gold medal is not easy but I believed in myself, especially over the last four years.

An athlete and actor are really two different temperaments, night and day. As an athlete you really keep things out and as an actor you really bring things in.

Gold has shown a knee-jerk reaction to the events over the last two days. It closed up to the better side. The commodity had been under some pressure lately, especially with a strong dollar. People tend to look at other hedges in times of inflation. Unfortunately, gold usually reacts to these kinds of crises.
