"It’s a world championships, you’ll always have nerves for the world championships wherever you’re at"

"But I knew what I had to do, I knew what I was missing. With that being said, a big shout-out to the sports staff. Everybody was telling me, ’You’ve done this a million times before, you’ve just got to do it again"

"It was great. This one was a little bit different. I didn’t have two great rounds, and had to rely on my experience to get me through the final"

"I think I can put grace in it and hang up the 60m hurdles and try out a new event next year"

"To win three indoors and three outdoors, I think I’m the first person in history to ever do that. That’s an amazing stat"

"I put myself in these high-pressure situations. I just wanted to just make sure that when the gun went off, I took care of my lane, my space. So I put enough of a gap to where I kind of had it squared away. I just had to make sure I didnt knock down any hurdles"

"But I’m young, I’ve got a lot of races under my belt, so I’ll take this with a grain of salt and I keep moving forward"

"This was not the outcome that I wanted but it enables me to say I’m an Olympic medalist"

"You need a lot of mental fortitude. I say, ‘Alright, if I dont do this, lets do some push-ups. Its like a punishment. You put yourself through those situations so that you know exactly what you need to do to win"

"I’ve accomplished all my lifetime goals"

"And you know, my coach calls me crazy sometimes because I kept saying, ‘Again, again, again, again.’ I just want to make sure that practice makes permanent. And as I always say, ‘Permanent makes paper"

"I turned pro in 2019, so in almost five years I accomplished everything that I wanted to do in track and field. So this is the tough part, I have to continue to find ways to get motivated"
