The Olympic dream is a special dream. For every athlete here it has taken a lifetime of preparation to get to this point. Today I lived my Olympic dream.

I want to share thanks to the people of Japan and the Olympic organization for an incredible job in making these Olympics happen. Thank you to the fans around the world for all your love not just this year but throughout my entire career, you make me speechless and humbled.
