I was scared out of my mind. Any mistakes I made were not because I have trouble with that jump or that element, it was that once my mind started to work and I realized everything I accomplish in those four minutes and 40 seconds on the ice, it got to me. |
I was terrified today. My biorhythms were off, up and down. I didn't feel my inner peace, I didn't feel my aura. Inside I was black. |
I'll be back in four years. Hopefully, for a medal. |
I'll decide on Thursday morning. It's very last-minute, spur-of-the-moment for me. It's going to have to be perfect for me to want to put it in. |
I'm disappointed with the way I skated, not with losing a medal. |
I'm not conceding. I'm just being realistic. |
I'm not going to sugarcoat anything or change the way I speak about others or certain things in the world just because I'm a figure skater and I have to appeal to these people. That's not why I figure skate. If I appeal to myself and my mother, I'm happy with that. I don't 'front,' as they say. |
I'm really, really proud I won again but this program today wasn't up to par with my previous two wins. This was by far my hardest competition. I'm very proud I got through it as well as I did even though it wasn't the best I could do. |
I'm so proud of the other two guys on the team. I'm usually not a team person. I usually don't root for people on my team. |
I'm still a baby. I'll be back. |
I'm teaching myself Russian. When I answer in Russian, she really gets excited about it. |
I'm very, very elated that I came out and skated well. It was lovely, really. |
I'm very, very, very excited. Very, very elated. Lovely, really. |
I'm was [ticked] off, to be honest. |
I've been landing at least one quad every day in practice. I want to do it, for me more than for anything else. It's an element I've been missing and chasing for a long time. |
