This is what he told the mixed zone:

“It is a very special moment. I had a setback earlier this year. I broke my toe, and just to be able to make it to the finals, and now I have a silver medal again, I kind of noted that. I just try to be better and this is just an amazing experience and I want to come stronger next year. I felt like last year we had the opportunity to sweep the medal podium, but Andre took that away from us. So to be able to complete it this year, it is an amazing experience. We have great athletes on the team. We continue to be stronger every single year. I am looking forward to the relay; let’s see what happens.”
