motivates playing soon
Something like this isn't what motivates me. As soon as I get on the ice, it's business. I'm not out here playing around.
eric
Speculation of doing what Eric did, I would like to downplay that a little bit.
coming confident great races
Now I'm just really confident that the other races coming up are going to be just as good. It's a great start.
built eric hype next
I built up the hype I guess. But I never said I'm going to be the next Eric Heiden.
came eyes less reason wasting
I came here to win. If you come here for any other reason than that, in my eyes you're wasting your time. Anything less than a win, second, fourth, eighth, 10th, 50th, it's all the same thing to me.
asked came team
I came here for my own races. They asked me to do the team pursuit. It's not really my thing but for my team I will do it. I'm going to be my best.
best catching decided laps rest six
I could feel Carl catching me. I decided with six laps to go that the best way was to rest a little bit, let him catch me, let him think he has me. Then I sprinted away from him on that one lap.
happened medals three tops tough train year
It's better it happened now than at the Olympics, which we train for our whole lives. You can say I got three medals at the Olympics, but it's been a really tough year for me and this just tops it off.
continuing feeling guess happy numb results since
I've had a pretty numb feeling ever since what happened. I guess because I'm not completely happy with the results I had, and that's why I'm continuing through 2010.
awesome finish hope level medals pocket worry
I've got a 10K to worry about. He's got two medals in his pocket so he's done great. He's competed at an awesome level and I hope to go and finish it for our team.
eric talk
All the talk about Eric Heiden I'd like to downplay that.
good hold last pressure record
The good thing is I hold the world record in the last two races. All the pressure is on me. I'll be the favorite. I like that.
five medals worse
The five medals isn't a big thing. The most important thing for me right now is to go out and have fun. Things could be a lot worse right now.
