"I want to thank everyone who has helped me along the way...my whole family for supporting me."
"Half a year ago I met the love of my life. The world's most beautiful and nicest person. Three months ago I made the mistake of my life and cheated on her, and I told her about that a week ago."
"I had the gold medal in life, and I am sure there are many people who will see things differently, but I only have eyes for her. Sport has come second these last few days. Yes, I wish I could share this with her."
"My only way to solve it is to tell everything and put everything on the table, and hope that she can still love me...I've done that for her, and now for the whole world. I have nothing to lose. I want to be a good role model, but I have to admit when I make mistakes."
