"I got to do a victory lap because I had won the average, but I had no idea that I had won the world, So I did my victory lap and was waving and got off and they were talking to me and telling me congratulations, and I still thought I'd just won the average. Then when I was about to do an interview, they said something about winning the world, and I was like, 'Wait, I won?' ... I started crying and said, 'I have to tell my dad.' " -Callie duPerier Apffel "I have spent nearly half my life in a U.S. Soccer uniform, so making the decision to retire from international play was incredibly hard and emotional, But quite simply, after 230 caps, thousands of practices, many trips around the world, and having played in three World Cups, and three Olympics, it just feels like the right time." -Heather O'Reilly "It wasn't until I began to run more seriously that I realized what I was missing. There is a sense of liberation that comes from running through the city. Not only does it exhilarate my body, dodging traffic and jumping over broken glass and dead rats makes me feel like a tough broad. I find the solitude fortifying." -Erika Sánchez |
AuthorHi, I'm Jenna and I'm a sports fan! I've been avidly watching sports since 2011 because I found that by watching sports, I would be able to communicate with my dad and brother better. Ever since I got into sports, I've been able to enjoy myself more when I go to sporting events with my family. Archives
