<p>“I’m just happy to be able to bring this achievement to the U.S. because we don’t medal too often, so I’m glad I was able to represent my country in a positive way,” Stanley told TeamUSA.org. “This wasn’t like anything that I’ve ever experienced before. Everything else has been quite competitive but competing on the world stage here and representing my country against other countries, it’s just something you can’t compare to any other meet.”</p>
