I had to go through my programs. There was no audience, no feedback, so that was difficult. I tried to stay within myself and stay present and go through everything. Today wasn't the Olympics. |
I have to lot to work on, a lot of improvement to make, focus on the details. And I've got to take advantage of the seconds and the minutes before the Olympics. |
I have to pay attention to how I feel. These days it's important that I'm in touch with it right now and be serious about it and know how I'm skating and how I'm feeling. Dropping out is not something I want to do, but I have to listen to what my feelings are. |

I started jumping not too long ago, like two weeks ago. From not spinning, not jumping to performing, that was a big step for me. |

I was so worried about winning, it was as if I was caught up in my own web. |
I wish I was here in better circumstances. |
I wish I was here in better circumstances. I respect the Olympics too much to compete, and I don't feel I can compete at my best. |
I wish I was here in better circumstances. When I first put in my petition, I said I believed I'd be 100 percent by the time the Olympics came around. But yesterday, after going on the ice and feeling stiff... I don't think that I can be 100 percent. |
I?m thinking gold is good. I?m staying positive, feeling good. I?m injury free. So right now, it?s just going for it. |
I'm not closing any doors right now. Since 2002, I've kind of left everything wide open. ... I want to go back to school and finish up. But I think the first thing is to get healthy and feel good about my body and feel, oh, OK, I'm ready. |
