But this is the final preparation before the Olympic Games. After the third minute, I couldn't breathe. I was gulping for air, like a fish out of water. |
I have 10 points more than anybody. Of course, I'm happy with the result but I hope I can perform that way again in the free program. |
I have something inside me. I like to work and I also like to compete. |
I tell the truth. This is my dream, yeah? And I am happy, believe me I am so happy. |
I tell you the truth, this is my dream. That (2002) was not my Olympic Games. This Olympic Games is mine, that's for sure. |
I tell you the truth. This is my dream. Yeah. And I'm so happy. |
I was on intravenous fluids for three days, and thanks to the doctor who got me back on my feet. There was a doubt whether I could come. It was a bit hard to skate, to breathe. I'm still coughing badly. |
I worked a lot. It was really very hard because of my operation and my dream came true. |
I'll tell you the truth: This year is my year. I win the Olympic gold - that was my dream. I win the Russian championships, the European championships, the Olympics, all events. Also, my wife - she's pregnant. Our first baby on the way. I tell you, it's my year. |
I'm so happy with my numbers, I did my job, it's not the best what I did today. But it's quite enough. |
I'm very happy. I achieved a new personal best and I did it in the Olympic Games. This is very important to me. Everything was clean. |
It was my dream when I was (four-years-old). I'm so happy with my scores. I did my job. It's not the best what I did today, but it was quite enough. I didn't have a lot of emotion. My fans know how emotional I can be. |
It was my dream. When I was 4, I saw the competition and said to my mom, 'I have to be there.' I said that I wanted to be an Olympic champion. |
It was very difficult to skate the program because I'm still not healthy. |
