00:00That was a massive goal for me, to win the first ever Olympic gold medal in freestyle BMX.
00:05Going into Tokyo, I had already won a lot of events in freestyle BMX and had that publicity around me inside the sport.
00:16But the Olympics just opened up a whole new level of it to me.
00:20I had so many crazy different opportunities pop up that probably never would have happened without the Olympics.
00:27So it was actually pretty amazing to see how much publicity you can get from winning a gold medal.
00:33The pressure comes from myself. It's not necessarily the outside pressure or what I'm expected to do or what I'm expected to be capable of doing.
00:41It's always, I put the pressure on myself to go in and perform at my best.
00:46Making sure that I go into the event knowing that I've done the work as best I could and then going in to do my best.
00:54So that pressure comes from within myself.
