I thought, maybe, my goal is to make top six in the finals, ... Coming in first is just a shock. It's really exciting for me.

If they qualify for the meet, and they handle the pressure at the trials, then usually they have enough maturity to participate. And then it's just a great experience.

In the finals, I felt strong but I just didn't feel sharp. It's disappointing when you don't do your best. But I'm just glad that I was able to work on each of my dives.

I was quite pleased overall although I could have been sharper on some dives.

I thought the fans were great, ... Maybe there could have been a few more in the stands, but they sure made a lot of noise.

Absolutely not. As soon as I take anything for granted, that's when I start making mistakes. I always assume that anything can happen, and I just want to go out there and do my best every time.

When you have such amazing talents like Alex and Riley, then they succeed really quickly with the help of good training and good coaches. I think this, for the younger divers, is just a great opportunity to get more experience and more confidence.

I feel very relieved and happy. It was definitely a tough day for me today. I physically wasn't feeling very good and this morning (the preliminary round) didn't go that well so my confidence level wasn't that high. I'm very pleased with the fact that I came away tonight with a win.

The Chinese are absolutely amazing and such great divers. It's an honor.
