I'm very satisfied with today. Usually my first throw is my best. Today, I had an okay first throw, but the rest got better and better. I wanted to come out and do that.
Michelle Carter, women's shot put winner
I felt good, the weather is great. I started out kind of slow. My last two throws were pretty good. My last throw was probably the best, but I fouled.
I've been training through some of my track meets, and I'm getting to my peak phase. I feel pretty good.
Tasha Danvers, women's 400m hurdles winner
When you have the Olympic champion in the race, you're always aware of the potential threat. At the end of the day, I had to stay focused in your lane so that's what I did.
It was a good performance for me. It's been a trying year for me already. We know that Melaine (Walker) can run 52 in her sleep.
It's a fabulous sunny day here in New York with a fabulous crowd.
Christin Wurth Thomas, women's 1,500m winner
I felt good. My workouts are going phenomenal. To come out and lead from the gun is phenomenal.
Today was getting one under my belt, getting the cobwebs out. The goal is to keep improving.
Carmelita Jeter, women's 100m winner
I have a new coach (John Smith). My training is a lot more difficult, my mindset is much better, my technique is better.
With track, you can't count anyone out, anyone can beat anyone on any day.
Allyson Felix, women's 400m winner
I'm still in heavy training right now. I'm working to get better each week. I'm more focused on the 200.
Carolina Kluft, women's long jump winner
I didn't have a good feeling before. I've been injured all winter. I kept running down the runway and kept saying, "its okay, its okay."
I feel good. I will not be in my best shape until the end of July or August.
The long jump is a new challenge. I definitely like it and I'm going to stay with it. Anna Williard, women's 800m winner
The plan was to show I had another gear at 700. Even though I was third, with the last 100 I knew I could just kick and win.
Lauryn Williams, women's 200m winner
I always do better after a round. I always say I'm good for rounds so having to run the 100 set me up to run a better 200. I think it was a god race.
