After the past two weeks training, I can almost sympathize with some of the people who don't want to go through it. It's tough, and you have to push through it. |
David and I really had a jump start. We always paid a lot of attention to what they were developing so, when the new system became effective, we were really ahead of the game. |
Going into the Lutz I realized that because of the regulations, I had to do a double or else it would not have counted. |
He comes into this competition with silver before, and he definitely wants to better that. And he definitely has the best goods out there. It's his title to give up. |
He's a really enthusiastic coach, as passionate about coaching as I am about skating. And Michelle is a fierce trainer. It's a great skating atmosphere. |
He's pushed skating more than anyone I can think of. Being on the podium with him really is an honor. This bronze medal means a lot more to me than the silver I won last year. |
I don't think it will be enough. And that's fine. I'm skating better now. |
I don't think it would make much sense if the money has to come from development. It's like stealing from the poor and giving to the rich. |
I put down three solid performances here, and I feel pretty good going into the Olympics. |
I then made small errors on my jumps, [errors] that I shouldn't make. |
I was so focused on the Olympics, I think I put all my energy into that. The worlds weren't something I focused on, I just didn't have the energy. |
I'm happy with the way it went. |
If we can make it through the Olympics without any scandals, we'll be all right. |
It was either cross your fingers and hope the program became comfortable for the Olympics, or go back with something I know works. Once I made the decision, I knew it was a good one? |
It was great for Skate Canada to do that for us. They went above and beyond what most federations would do. |
