Jackie Joyner-Kersee is actually someone I have a personal relationship with and who continues to do amazing things in her community. I continue to be inspired by her. If I can emulate myself after someone it's her and I just hope to have that effect on my community and continue to go on to do things like she has.

It helped me to have renewed love for the sport by being able to step away and then come back.

I definitely think I put more pressure on myself. I can be hard on myself and super-critical and very rarely satisfied or happy. I am my biggest critic.

The pressure is hard. You get - the world is only watching every four years, and I think lots of people feel like they have to win in that time frame.
