“Legendary, I mean, it really is. For the women who have laid that foundation for us since 1996 and before now, it’s certainly amazing to be a part of. And I love my teammates,” Wilson said.
“”We went from competing against each other in rivals to now putting that aside and becoming teammates because we know we want to fight for gold.
“It’s going to be fun (and) we’re just here doing our thing.”
