You show up at the Olympics, and you're no longer you; you're an American Olympian. You're part of this greater whole, and the individual doesn't matter.
When the opportunity came, it was a fantastic thing for myself and my family to do, I couldn't wait to put on a Bosnia shirt, and I haven't really looked back since.
My first experience playing for England was very scary and nerve wracking.
I actually quite miss being called Philippines because in the pageant it's normal for us to be called our country instead of our names. If somebody goes, 'Philippines!' I turn my head and I know that's me. Now they go 'Pia' or 'Miss Universe.' Of course that's better. But I also miss that, being called my country.
Playing for Brazil is a huge pleasure. I think it's a huge pride.
I'm enjoying it with Ireland, and I won't be pressured into playing for England.
To be in the national team is wonderful in it's own right. For me, playing against Brazil or Venezuela is the same.
The opportunity beckoned me to play for England, but I chose Nigeria because it has always been my ambition to play for the Super Eagles.
If I went to Spain and lived there for five years, I'm not going to play for Spain. For me an English player should play for England, really.
I never expected i, in the first place, when I started playing tennis, that I would ever carry the flag into the Olympic Stadium for an Olympic Games... So for me that was a surprise and a huge honor in my life to be able to represent Switzerland.
I've just enjoyed playing for England - it's an amazing job.
I may now carry the sash of Miss Universe, but I'll forever be your Miss Philippines.
I do feel my African side, but I've always wanted to play for Germany. Ghana did contact me, but I told them and my dad that I was sure I wanted to play for Germany.
I'm just really honoured to play for South Africa. Just to be part of this team is a special feeling.
I am hugely proud to have played for Ireland.
It is an honor to represent the people of India every time I step into the ring.
Playing for South Africa is an absolute honour, and I don't feel like I need to relax. Every game I take more than seriously.
I like being part of the Great Britain setup. I like feeling I'm at a race that is important and the pressure that goes with it.
One hundred per cent, to play for Spain is my dream.
