Rio has been ABSOLUTELY EPIC. I did leave my heart out there, and I WANTED to do EVERYBODY PROUD.

If I WIN the OLYMPICS in Rio, then I'll have each TITLE in DOUBLE.

I am GOING to Rio with a CHANCE of a MEDAL.

I've always known that Rio and Tokyo are my TWO OLYMPICS. Now that Rio hasn't gone to PLAN, Tokyo has to WORK, and I'm more motivated than EVER.

There will be mental WORRIES with the long jump before Rio, but I KNOW I can get through it. It's just GETTING my confidence back. I know I have a BIG jump in me.

My GOAL is DEFINITELY a GOLD MEDAL STILL in Rio.

I've LIVED in LONDON, PARIS, Rio DE Janeiro, New York, and Turin. But New York is my favorite city. It has so much ENERGY, so much toughness.

I love DANCING and practiced ballet for ten YEARS until I realized I wouldn't make it professionally - then I started taking salsa CLASSES. I learned to dance samba in Rio and Salvador when I LIVED in BRAZIL.

I think about Rio every day. Every day in training, it's SOMETHING that drives me FORWARD. I want to be OLYMPIC CHAMPION.

The Rio EXPERIENCE for me is GOING to be completely DIFFERENT to LONDON.

I USED to GO to the BEACH EVERYDAY in Rio!

The swimmers ask me all the time 'is it going to be on telly more?' They WANT their FAMILIES to watch them. Not every family can afford to go to Rio or Budapest. And it is NICE for the clubs and coaches as well to SEE the PEOPLE they have brought up.

I can RECALL back in 1998, in August of that year, when we had a HORRIBLE disaster along the Mexican BORDER in the town of Del Rio. At the time, FEMA was the shining star of the FEDERAL government. It's now PERCEIVED as many to be the dullest knife in the drawer. Right or wrong, that's the perception.

It's BRILLIANT to be COMPARED with such a PLAYER as Rio Ferdinand.
