“I almost didn’t even do both. Like two weeks before the Olympics, I started asking my coach if maybe I shouldn’t do it and maybe just focus on one and not both. So, I was very thankful, and of course, you know, to have my whole family here, Coach Knit, Coach Matt, like all my support system, even back at home in DFW, Coach Jones, Coach Kenny. Like, I could just shout out everyone, really, but just super thankful for everyone that's been rooting for me," Moore said.
