I just finished an interview with North Kingstown's Elizabeth Beisel, who is in San Jose, Calif., with the rest of the U.S. Olympic swim team participating in their media day events. We'll be posting the full audio from Elizabeth's remarks on Monday at projosports.com.

As everyone who has talked to her before told me, she's a very pleasant interview. She told me that what she has accomplished still has not really hit home, except that she now has a tremendous opportunity to be around the very best in her sport day in and day out.

She also talked about how she managed to cut nearly 16 seconds off her 400 individual medley time from last year's World Junior Championships to this year's U.S. Olympic Trials; what it is like to swim in the high-tech, NASA-designed Speedo swimsuits; how she handles the enormous pressure of competing on such a big stage; and why she feels extremely proud to represent Rhode Island.

So check back here Monday to hear all of what Elizabeth had to say.
