I think it's always tough coming back from an injury, physically and mentally. But Michelle has proven herself in different situations and she's a tough competitor.

Years ago I used to cry but I think I used up all my tears. I have to take helpful steps and it's not going to help me to cry.

My academic schedule is lighter this year because it's an Olympic year.

Usually, the Olympics is a bit stronger competition.

It kind of humanizes the sport. She's been an icon of the sport. To see that people can be at top of the sport and also have hard times, it humanizes the sport.

It's been very nice and very relaxing to be back in California. And Mr. Nicks knows me so well. I'm in a great situation, and I can't wait to get the season started.

I hope to show girls that eating smart, without giving up their favorite foods, can help them be their best in all areas of their lives.

It works well for my skating. I like the fact it gives weight to spins and jumps that were only checked off (under the 6.0 system). I'm really excited for the new system at Nationals.

I think it was a gift. I am very pleased.

Ultimately, it's only four minutes in one day out of my life.

I feel I've matured as a skater and a person in the past four years.

Cardio is tough after a day of skating, but with my iPod I can get into the moment and complete the cardio training for the day.

I just found out and I was a little bit shocked; my thoughts haven't had much of a chance to formulate. But I know it must be really disappointing to have to withdraw. I know how tough it is to come back from injury and get yourself together. It was great that she tried, but things don't always work out.

I'll probably buy practical things, ... Groceries, gas.

I'm not feeling any pressure. We're used to being the very last in the spotlight.

For whatever reason, the pro world has kind of died out, and the skaters are staying in, staying competitive, putting in the effort, the training to stay at the top of their game. It's difficult.

I've always emulated her work ethic because she was one of the few skaters that didn't lose her temper, that would have a bad day, but have a great attitude, come back and try again. That was a huge lesson for me to learn.

I shall leave you with an ambiguous answer.

I really wanted to soak it in. Everyone is so quick to get off (of the ice), but we work so hard for this. It's nice to take two minutes to enjoy your accomplishments.

It's bittersweet. I tried hard, I have no regrets. For that performance, silver is generous.
Sasha Cohen
-
I didn't think I was going to get any medals, and so it was great to get silver.

It's definitely tough to know you're going to be the last one. It's the best skaters in the world, it's the Olympic Games, it's 11:30 at night. But you just sort of stay in your own world, take it one step at a time and stay strong.

I'd like to cause a little riot in skating.

It's hard for the girls here and everybody has worked so hard to earn a spot on the team. But it's the U.S. Olympic Committee's job to pick the three skaters who have the best chance at the Olympics.
