Chad Hedrick Race Quotations

We have a lot of common, in here, in the heart. He was a fighter just like me. You don't win five gold medals without heart. It's hard to race all those different distances.

Every chance I get to step to the line and represent my country, I'm going to do it. I don't care if I have a race two days later, three days later ... this isn't a personal issue. I'm not going to be selfish to my teammates.

If I would have been the back, with the energy I had left, I probably could have gone through more laps when the race was done. The strategy we set out backfired on us. We expected KC to be able to stay in there and KC expected to stay. It wasn't in the cards.

I'm like Roy Jones Jr. moving up to heavyweight. I picked up a new race and I got fifth in the world. I think that's pretty good.

I didn't think it would hold up. I didn't expect to win this race today.

It's just going to be first 200 meters that determines the race for me.
