More Quotes by Libby Trickett

I'm so over the moon that I have the opportunity to represent my country at a third Olympic Games.

It is completely surreal because two years ago I wasn't swimming, I was 10 kilos heavier and was on a completely different path in my life, I was still living in Sydney, I'm just so happy now.

It's the best fifth place I've ever had.

I could see myself still swimming because I'm really enjoying the sport. But at the same time I have this biological clock that is ticking.

I really would like to start a family as well. Whether I can balance the two or have to decide one or the other way, I'm not sure what will happen.

I'm a different athlete, I'm a different person.
