Excerpt:
"I just wanted to win a medal. I think it’s so funny because in Tokyo after Morgan Stickney beat me, I said was too old to ever do this event again, and here I am winning gold," Long told NBC after the race. "… I can't believe I won."
"Right by my bed, I have a picture of my husband, and a picture of little Jess winning a gold medal," she continued. "I won this gold when I was 12, and I just remember saying it’s now or never, and just tried my hardest."
