I was in the Olympic uniform in 2000. This is an wonderful concept. This year I think they have really listened to the athletes. The colors look good on everybody. It feels great. When you're in something that doesn't creep and crawl, it's great. 

On the multiple world records in the women's pole vault this year: "It's exciting to be a part of it. In 2000, I was out by myself, this year I'm in the mix with a couple of people. I'm ready for the challenge. When it comes down to the Olympics, it's going to be a showdown."

"I love to compete here in Sacramento. I'm very comfortable here with my friends and family."
