00:00Well coming into these games I definitely had an expectation for myself. I wanted to have a good
00:06performance but the way I do that is just going and enjoying the competition. I definitely felt
00:12nervous before the comp. It's like the biggest competition in the world, climbing's on the big
00:17stage and I'm really happy I was able to get the gold. During my climb I'm just incredibly
00:22focused on the task at hand, whether it's the bouldering or the lead route. I just really try
00:27to focus on what I've got to do and to work it out. Before is when I get the big rushes of
00:32adrenaline, emotion, nerves but those are all what helps me come out onto the mats and give
00:38my best performance.
