It's Not How You Start, But It's

Coming Into Tonight, I Knew It Was Going To Be A Great Race, ... In The 400, Laszlo Put Up A 4:10.1 Earlier In The Year, And So You Expect Him To Put Up A Good Time In (the 200). I Knew Ryan Was Going To Be Fast Coming Off His Short Course Season, And He's Improved A Lot Since Athens, So I Just Wanted To Go Out There And Relax A Bit And Go Out There And Do What I Had To Do.

This Is My 20th Year In The Sport. I've Known Swimming And That's It. I Don't Want To Swim Past Age 30; If I Continue After This Olympics, And Come Back In 2016, I'll Be 31. I'm Looking Forward To Being Able To See The Other Side Of The Fence.

Once I Retire, I'm Retiring. I'm Done.

It's Not How You Start, But It's How You Finish.

Swimming Is Normal For Me. I'm Relaxed. I'm Comfortable, And I Know My Surroundings. It's My Home.
