With one month to go until the opening ceremonies, excitement is building for the athletes, coaches and fans in anticipation of Rio 2016. Kami Craig, who pocketed Gold at London 2012 and silver at Beijing 2008, will be one of the few Olympians in control of her heart rate having been there and done that.
While Craig is a Team USA stalwart, the women's water polo veteran reacted to making her third Olympics like a first-timer.
"Immediately, I started crying," Craig described her reaction to the news of making the team. "It never gets old. You never know, there's always a bit of anxiety or nerves going into making a team or selection of a team. Even though it would be my third Olympics, going through the process in what you have to overcome - the injuries, the change of the roster, the playing time, the practices, the uniting of the team -- it's all challenging. Anything you put 100 percent commitment and heart into, it's pretty rewarding when you get to actually hear those words being said."
