Deedee Trotter, US track and field athlete

I have been having a great time! Besides training and getting treatment, which takes up the majority of my day, I have great roommates.

I've had good races in spite of my left knee giving me some problems the last four days. I was a little saddened because I expected my knee to hold up all the way through the Games, but I also felt very blessed and very proud to be here. It truly is hard to feel disappointment when you feel so extremely blessed!
