Q: What was your experience like leading up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics and what were your initial thoughts on being named an Olympian?
DN: I was training out in LA, which was where my base was at. We knew going in that my goal, six years prior to the Olympics, was to actually make the Olympic team so everything I was doing up to that point was to get me ready for that.
