Hannah Teter Quotes


Hannah Teter

I dreamed it. But I just never thought it would play out so soon -- you know, like, Olympics, gold. It`s amazing.

Family is the foundation of everything. This is a family thing. I got my no-fear attitude from my brothers from back when we used to bounce on the trampoline or go to the skate park.

A different kind of family, I guess. Mom went to nursing school after having five kids, and Dad is a road construction foreman. Pretty cool people. I guess you call them hippies. They met at a music festival in Colorado. Dad was leaning against a tree, playing a flute, and Mom walked by and caught his eye. That`s the way they tell the story.

I guess I was kind of distracted at the beginning. But then I chilled out and made it.

I just kind of felt the same standing up there. It`s like, ?Here we go again, another run on the pipe ? but at the Olympics.` I just felt super positive.

I wanted to try to go as big as I could and tweak my grabs hard.

We`re going to pee in cups, guys.

I don`t know what I`ll do with my gold medal. Maybe I`ll staple it to a wall. Is that a good thing to do with it?

I wanted to step it up and go as big as possible and totally represent my brothers who have helped me throughout my career. Thank you, family. And thanks, too, for all that Vermont maple syrup. That`s what does it, you know.

I could feel it, being caught up with the energy and emotion of the whole scene here.
