“This was intense. Obviously they weren’t going to quit in their home building. It was an unbelievable moment. This ranks very high in terms of the excitement and the sight of relief getting to the finish line. It’s special. Two years ago, I knew this was in the horizon. I was excited to go after this. For me to get a gold medal is insane. That shot is just being decisive. You live with the results. You just let it go.”
