The Olympics is all about inclusion, coming together for sport. That's the footprint I want to leave.
I'm just happy to be part of the family, the decathlon family.
If I'm playing for North Carolina, and Eric Montross goes up and dunks one, I might jump up and hug him like I was his girlfriend. It's supposed to be that way, in my opinion. Players should be able to express themselves and grow.

Our national identity is so interwoven with football.
But I like to think an athlete is an athlete.

Spain used to be very individualistic in its sporting activities. Now we are showing we are pretty good in teams - that is an improvement.
Pretty surreal experience to see the impact football has had globally.
