She's laid back, but we all know she can step up when she wants to. In the big competitions, she always skates well. She WILL skate well at these Olympics. |
Sure, some words have been exchanged. They've been talking about training together next year, and I hope they still feel that way. |
That's dangerous. Those guys are fast, and they'll know exactly what it's going to take. |
The ceremonies really made him feel like he was part of the US team. It was like, 'Wow, I really am here. I'm part of the Olympics. |
The emotional lift he'll get from watching the ceremonies is more important than the danger of being fatigued for his race. It's such a kick to feel like a part of your country. The Olympics are to be experienced, so I don't want to take anything away from him. You never know - this might be his only one. |
They'll make sure he doesn't do anything stupid. |
This is such a huge relief, a big burden off his shoulders. I think he can definitely get back on the podium again. We've got six weeks to make it happen. |
Those guys bring out the best in each other. |
To be honest, I thought he was in trouble. Then I saw him look back (at his rival), and I said, 'Oh, this is something special.' That was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. |
Up until today, we didn't want to give in to the feeling that it wasn't going so well, because you're still hoping for a miracle. Chris has pulled things off. Obviously, today is a reality — and it's a rough one. |
We checked the skates. I don't see how we could have missed it. It's bizarre, something I'd never seen before. |
We had a chance at a medal here. The biggest mistake was that we didn't keep our team together. |
We normally would have beaten them 9 out of 10 times. But this is Turin - they can do a little bit extra and this is what did us in. |
We should have fixed the skate, that was a big mistake. |
We were definitely hoping Jen and Chris would do better. It's tough. |
