He has been my rock, has fought for me and made so many sacrifices."I wish my dad could have been there to see me at these Olympics and won two medals. He'd be jumping up and probably in the pool! It is overwhelming to be surrounded by all the love and support from home."I am going to take a little break from diving. My body is doing well, I feel better and I'm doing well.

He has a new perspective on life, and it seems like he is enjoying himself.It's a huge relief to win the gold. This is his fourth Olympics. But maybe there will still be fire in the belly for another attempt. It is not four years away... it is only three!Good or bad, you do one dive and then move on to the next. He returns to the first dive after the setbacks of the previous round. He is very skilled at placing himself in the competition zone.
