I understand that your husband, who was a fellow member of the IU swim team, proposed to you after you had just won a meet or an event.

You're all wearing bathing suits.

Where do they expect you to be hiding a weapon?

Really?

Did he do the classic thing, get down on one knee?

Did you then hear her voice yelling?

You also might want to put on some makeup.

It was too late.

And there your husband was and he got down on one knee and he proposed right there in the deck.

Right.

And do you think he would have proposed if you had lost?

So you're saying, and I've met enough really high elite athletes knowing that they all expect to win.

You all expect to win every time, which is part of the secret.

And so I imagine that if you hadn't won that day and made the Olympic team, you would have said yes to his proposal, but it might have been more like a, okay, fine.

No, wait a minute.

Okay.

Hold on.

We had read that one of your secrets is you, like, you psych out your opponents.

You play some mind games.

Looking pretty dry today.
