emotional positive reinforce talked thrown tried understood
He's an emotional guy. But I don't think he understood why this was happening. He was a little thrown off that he was like this ? like he didn't know himself. ... But we were positive and tried to reinforce the things that we had talked about.
checked missed seen
We checked the skates. I don't see how we could have missed it. It's bizarre, something I'd never seen before.
incredible saw
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.
fixed
We should have fixed the skate, that was a big mistake.
burden definitely huge six weeks
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.
anybody blame blames
Of course, he's upset. But he couldn't blame anybody and didn't want to blame anybody. When he loses, he blames himself.
laid skate skates step wants
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.
gold good learned silver
For a rookie, he did pretty good with a gold, silver and bronze. I think he learned a ton.
bad bob console happy hugging minutes mom parents remember salt skated
I remember how Bob skated very, very bad in Salt Lake. I know his parents well, and I remember hugging his mom for about 10 minutes when she was crying, having to console her. So if it's not Chad, then I'm happy for him to win.
city console hugging lake minutes mom moment remembered salt tearing trying
I remembered hugging his mom for 10 minutes in Salt Lake City trying to console her. I started tearing up remembering that moment in Salt Lake City.
last learned next olympics
He's learned a lot about the sport in the last two years. The next Olympics are going to be even better than this one.
strongest team
I think it's the strongest team we've ever fielded.
favorite
Joey, to me, is the favorite now because of the way he's been skating.
hope next talking together training words
Sure, some words have been exchanged. They've been talking about training together next year, and I hope they still feel that way.
