I've learned a lot since last time around. You learn a lot about yourself, about competing and training.
-
I want a world championship. I think I'm very capable and I've become a tougher competitor. I think it's very much within my reach.
-
I like the fact they give weight to spins, spirals, footwork, transitions. Something that was merely checked off before and jumping was given all the weight. For me, I'm very appreciative of the new system.
-
When a skater gets older, they become more mature, and they can assume more responsibility for their skating, ... That's how I've evolved. I know what works and what doesn't, and Mr. Nicks is a great coach for me.
-
I think it was a gift. For that performance, silver is generous.
-
I think it was a gift. I was very disappointed in my skate.
-
I'm tougher than I think I am. I was able to believe. I kept believing.
-
I enjoyed the experience. I think as a person I matured and I was strong through it all. I'm happy with it. I'm just really ecstatic to come out with a medal.
-
She skated really, really well. The two triple-triples made for a really strong program. She deserved to be first.
-
I was able to believe when everything looked really dark and gray. I had a little break where the music carried me through. I love the music and performing this program. It's always so special to me no matter what happens. It goes beyond an athletic event and just becomes an emotional experience. I was able to attack the rest of the program.
-
It's wonderful. It means so much to skate well, and then be rewarded on top of that is icing on the cake.
-
I love attention. I love going to events and photo shoots... I enjoy it all; the clothing, the makeup, the excitement.
-
I think I was probably not nervous but just a little apprehensive. Ultimately, the jumps just weren't there.
-
You just have to stay on top of the ball, and keep calling people and asking people, and not get one opinion, but 20. It always changes. It's very important to be involved as a skater because ultimately no one cares more about how you do than yourself.
-
I like to cook simple things, like vegetable egg-white omelets; roast chicken; sauteed chicken breast with curry powder; and Greek salad. Just things that are fresh and healthy and fast and easy, because I have such a crazy schedule.
-
I think it's hard for the girls here and everyone who's worked so hard to make the Olympic team.
-
It's kind of interesting, because usually she's always there. She never withdraws. But you never know if your body is going to be there tomorrow.
-
I had whale tartare when I was in Japan, but I probably wouldn't have it again.
-
I was surprised when I learned I would be for sure getting a bronze and even more surprised when I going to be getting a silver. It was kind of like, oh that's nice. But over the last four years, I changed as a person. My focus is not on the medal. For me it's the experience and the process and enjoying it.
-
At the time, I was devastated, crushed that it didn't turn out how I wanted. But it was my first major international event, so I learned a lot from it.
-
It goes back to preparation. I still never feel like I've been as prepared as I could or should be. That's why I'm emphasizing that in my training.
-
I wasn't raised going to synagogue. My mother wasn't brought up with that, so I wasn't brought up with it.
-
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've always wanted a national title. I've got a lot of silvers in shoe boxes and storage units all over the place. I think the gold one will have a special place.
