The days after the competition went by so fast that it was over before I had a chance to blink.

I feel almost sad because this has been the most stressful and wonderful time ever.I don’t mean that it was stressful in a life-or-death way but having the “slight” pressure of the U.S. on me whether real or perceived was definitely something I could feel the whole time. The wonderful part hit me a few days after the competition, when the slight disappointment had faded away and I realized that I had competed in the Olympic Games. There are definitely things that could have been better, but I feel as though I did everything to the best of my abilities that day and couldn’t ask myself for more.
