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. |

I feel I've matured as a skater and a person in the past four years. |
I feel really good and really confident, |
I felt good out there. A bit nervous, but determined and positive. |
I haven't done that program in a long time (eight days due to the flu) so it was nice it turned out pretty well. I was a little slow. I wouldn't necessarily say cautious. It's taken away from my strength and energy. It was good I made it from beginning to end without being late. When I'm healthy and training good, this will be a strong program for me. |
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 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. |
I really enjoyed the performance tonight, and I've had a whole week of unknowns, being in bed with the flu. Ice is slippery, and anything can happen to anybody. I have seen that at numerous events. I am going to have fun out there and trust my training and not worry. I have figured out that worry doesn't help. |
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. |
I shall leave you with an ambiguous answer. |
I stayed strong, and I believed in myself and to finish up a strong program and get a standing ovation and then to have the judges give me great marks on top of that was everything I could have asked for. |
I still haven't found that automatic robot to pump out the perfect performances. That is something I am still searching for. |
I think about winning the Olympic gold medal a couple of times every day. Oh, it would be so nice to take one of those home. |
I think I was probably not nervous but just a little apprehensive. Ultimately, the jumps just weren't there. |
