“I definitely have the motivation to come back in four years,” she said.

“I’m also human and I think for me, I want to enjoy this moment and not think too far ahead. Because sometimes you can get caught up in that.

“I just didn’t think I would ever be here, let alone swim again. I didn’t know if I would fall in love with sports again and I try to say I’m in love with sports, I love running and I love being a part of something that’s not just about me.

“I got a little emotional because I worked so hard to be here and I’m just really proud of everything I’ve accomplished personally and being a part of this team this week, so you know, it’s sad to say goodbye.

“But I look forward to reflecting and being proud of how far we’ve come.”
