Quotables – Eric Friese
"Making it to the Olympics was always my dream, and I am still in disbelief that I made it. I am beyond grateful that the coaches gave me the chance to be a Florida Gator, and there is no place I would rather be than the University of Florida. I plan to continue and train hard and push my teammates in preparation for the games."
