Serena Williams in no mood to slow down, eyes Rio Olympics

“I plan on being there unless an act of god doesn't allow me to,” Williams said Monday.

“When I feel I can't be the greatest I shouldn't play anymore, but I feel I belong. I'm not tired. I'm enjoying myself,” said Williams, who broke into a “Crip Walk” dance after beating Maria Sharapova.

“I was so happy to just win. I've been so out of it the last years, (and from) where I was to come back and win this is just an amazing thing for me, for all the hard work I've been doing,” Williams added. “When I get happy, I dance.”

Thirty-year-old Williams beat Russia's Sharapova to add Olympic gold to her titles in all four major tournaments. She then teamed with sister Venus to win the gold in doubles for the third time.

Willams has recovered from some health issues that sidelined her for 14 months.
