She wants to be at her best because she knows this might be her last Olympic heptathlon competition.

"I don't know how long I'll compete in the heptathlon, it's a lot on your body as you get older," she said with a pause, then a smile. "But that doesn't mean I'm done. Not at all. Next summer, I'm learning the pole vault."

Smith sat next to her and grinned:

"She will, too."
