Article includes post-Ollympics memories:

[I]"We've been building up to it for three years," Williams said of the Olympics. "It wasn't exactly what we wanted -- the dream was to get the gold -- but I think what we did made a lot of people proud. I didn't even really realize until a few days after the game what impact it had on the country and the people.

"That was an amazing experience. It was an amazing feeling to have my family there. All of my family from Paris and the States were there, so just to share that moment with my loved ones was amazing."

Fearful that French fans would blame her for not sending the game to overtime, Williams was instead recognized more often after the game, getting nothing but love.

"Every single person that came up to me," Williams said, "every comment that I saw was, 'Thank you for that game.' I don't know how to say it in English, but 'You made us vibrate.' The fans have just been so supportive in France and it means a lot that we were able to touch so many people. Everyone saw how hard we worked and that's what really touches me."[/I]
