"We got rings that every U.S. Olympian gets, we got leather jackets and mostly apparel from corporate sponsors. A whole lot of really, really good stuff, like Ralph Lauren, who is sponsoring the opening ceremony. It was a very long day, but well worth it. We need to look nice when we are representing our country, and we got outfitted from start to finish. "
