We've always had it in us. The men's team will keep getting stronger and stronger.

Yeah, well that's probably the biggest crowd I've ever addressed I can assure you.

We've always had it in us. I think the men's team will continue to get stronger and stronger and we'll be winning many gold medals in the future.

I think swimming goes in cycles. It's just very important to keep the new blood coming through and we're beginning to do that.

We all hope to be there.
