Quotes by Kyle Shewfelt

“The main objective for us was to win gold for the team and this was accomplished on Thursday. Everything else is an extra.”

“I felt so comfortable out there competing today, and it comes down to having four good teammates.”

“Our goal coming into this was to get that team gold that we were so close to in 2002. It wasnt a personal goal, it was a team goal. I think thats why I was more relaxed.”

“We supported each other the whole way and, as the competition went on, we knew we were going to win.”

“Im always nervous before any competition and I guess Im 18 months away but I was nervous because I have a lot of expectation to do well and I wanted to show that Im still capable of winning world and Olympic medals.”

“I keep thinking back to Commonwealths in 2002 and remembering what a remarkable experience that was, doing so well with our team and winning a couple of individual medals. I really feel like my success in Manchester set a good stepping stone towards Athens.”
