"She was very happy to do to this TV show, to see the landscape and this comforts us. We hold on to that and this comforts us to think she passed away like that. "

"I think of my two other children, they will miss her for sure, more than they would miss myself, well. Yes, I think of my children."

"Swimming allowed her to expand herself and to be a beautiful person. I am a father. I was a bit hard sometimes with her. But I always wanted her to be nice, to think about others, but I think she has left good memories."

SOUNDBITE (French) Thierry Braillard, France's Deputy Sports Minister:

"Camille Muffat is the talent, the self-sacrifice, the hard-work, the simplicity, the humility, three medals at London Olympics. And at some point after all these efforts you just say stop and want to enjoy life but tragically fate prevented her from taking advantage of her life."
