Smith on looking ahead to Paris after setting a world record and making the Olympic team: “I think 56 is a possibility, for sure. Whether it's me or one of my competitors, who knows. But yeah, I'm not going to sell myself short, absolutely not. That was an amazing race, but it wasn't a perfect race. I know there's things that I can clean up and do better, and I'm going to work towards that.”

Smith on swimming backstroke in an NFL stadium: “The crowd was incredible. So that was super fun. And the interesting thing about swimming under a JumboTron is when you're on your back, you can see yourself because there's screens and you can see the race going on.”
