girl hoping knew skating word yesterday
We were hoping for a miracle, but we knew she wasn't skating so well. The word she used yesterday was 'embarrassing.' It's not what this girl can do.
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.
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.
chad opportunity saw took
I think he saw his opportunity to do an Armstrong. Chad just took off like no one I've ever seen.
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.
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.
gold good learned silver
For a rookie, he did pretty good with a gold, silver and bronze. I think he learned a ton.
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.
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.
figured fixed last night pop skate worked
He couldn't pop off it because it wasn't stable. We figured it out last night and worked it out. We should have fixed that skate (before the 1,500). We made a big mistake.
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.
