"Watching clips of past Olympic moments during the briefing gave me chills, it really did. It takes you back, no matter how tired, how sore, how long you've been away training, it really centers you on how special this experience is. There are a lot of people who would die to be in our shoes, and it reminds you how lucky you are to be able to compete and how important it is to lay everything on the line."
