She actually didn't jump for about five months because she had a concussion and the post-concussion symptoms.

Canada is on a roll. I'm hoping we can get up to 4 or 5 gold medals.

Our women's 8 rowing has a good shot, as does our swimming relay team, I don't think 4 is out of reach by any means!

Hope Solo is a bad person, and losing couldn't have happened to a better team. No Norwegian ref to save them this time.
