I wouldn't jeopardize Shauna, my closest friend. I knew what it's meant to her to get to the games and as much as I wanted to be here, if I didn't think I could do it, I would have taken myself out of the sled. I didn't want to have on my conscience us not doing well because of me.

Track and field is always where I wanted to make the Games. Bobsled wasn't even a thought in my mind.

I was a little nervous that I wasn't going to be able to race. But it all worked out and I got to the podium.
