U.S. TEAM OLYMPIC TRIALS: SWIMMINGJune 29, 2012Scott WeltzOMAHA, NEBRASKA Q. How are you feeling, man? SCOTT WELTZ: So much better than after the 100. The 100, I was kinda crushed and that last lap I was like, I won't feel that way again. Q. You're headed to London. SCOTT WELTZ: I know. I've said is so many times in my mind and now I can say it out loud, and it's great. Q. A lot of work put into it? SCOTT WELTZ: A lot of work, a lot of work. My coach had a plan and we followed it and it paid off. Q. Was there a point where you thought you had a good chance? SCOTT WELTZ: You know, there was, at the 100 ‑‑ I didn't swim my own race in the 100 Breaststroke, and today it was like here I have to go out easy and come back. And I feel like I didn't take a single hard stroke in the first 100. When I turned, I wasn't a body‑length behind, and I said, "I can do this," and I built it in the third lap and brought it home. So I just had that in my mind at the 100, I was like, "I can do this, I can do this," and I didn't feel a thing after that. Q. What was going through your mind when you touched the wall and you saw the‑‑ SCOTT WELTZ: Oh my God. I was swimming and I can kinda see out of the sides, and there was no one there. And I just kept accelerating, and I saw the wall and I looked up and I‑‑ automatically I looked at the bottom, I didn't look at the top, and I saw my time, and I was like, "Oh my God!" It was a dream come true. Twenty years of work paid off. Q. Anything for your friends at home? SCOTT WELTZ: I had so many e‑mails from kids I coach, thank you guys, monsters all the way. So much love for all my friends sending me things, telling me I can do it, so I feel like this is for them, too. They were with me every step of the way. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
