They didn't ask for that. |
We probably have a different viewpoint. But the one thing we have in common is that we were all athletes being thrown into this mess together. |
We're happy that justice was done. It doesn't take away anything from (the Russian skaters). It was not something against them. It was something against the system. |
When people ask us, 'How do you feel now that you've changed the system?' I really, really believe we didn't do anything but go out there and do our jobs. |
Wherever there's power, wherever there's money involved, there's always some bad people around. It's everywhere. It's not just in skating. |
Whether we like it or not, it's not going away so we may as well try to appreciate the best sides of it. A lot of skaters are trying to put more thought into footwork or spins. The skating itself has improved tremendously over the last four years, and that's a very good aspect of the new scoring system. |
