Kids don't know the language of figure skating. If you ask them to do a compulsory figure, they don't know how to, and that's so important for the edge quality. I think that's why the older skaters are still as popular as they are - because they have that quality that people are missing in this generation.
Yeah, I am a little bit, and I think it is a natural progression of the sport, of going upwards in technical ability and everything like that.
We didn't have time to thrash our bodies as much. We practiced compulsories 41/2 hours a day.
We've lived with that situation for our whole skating life, and I don't think by having 14 judges is really going to get rid of it that easily.
There certainly are X Games qualities now. It's not bad to keep including different things.

First and foremost I am an American athlete and I am proud to live in a country that encourages diversity, openness and tolerance,
As an athlete, I hope we can remain focused on the Olympic spirit which celebrates achievement in sport by peoples of all nations.

That's what amateur skating is about, technical expertise, and it should always stay that way.
