eric media people record specific tough
I think the media has thought a lot more about the Heiden record than I have. Eric has said that it's tough to do what he did in 1980 because people are specializing in specific events.
eric
Speculation of doing what Eric did, I would like to downplay that a little bit.
built eric hype next
I built up the hype I guess. But I never said I'm going to be the next Eric Heiden.
eric talk
All the talk about Eric Heiden I'd like to downplay that.
chance help olympics teammates
To help teammates have a chance at a medal, that's what the Olympics are all about.
care chance days later line personal race represent selfish step three
Every chance I get to step to the line and represent my country, I'm going to do it. I don't care if I have a race two days later, three days later ... this isn't a personal issue. I'm not going to be selfish to my teammates.
joey standing talking
We should be talking about other people. We should be talking about Joey and I, because we've already been standing up there on the podium.
We have different philosophies on doing things, that's all it is.
happy people second third
I don't go out there to place second or third. A lot of people would be happy to be third at the Olympics. But am I really happy with it? No.
damage five gold olympics
I don't feel like there's been damage done to me for the Olympics because I'm not going to get five gold medals.
excited family glad
I am just so glad that his whole family was able to make it and see this. I think I am just as excited as Calvin is, but this is his night.
crying felt situation worked
I was scared. I've never been in the situation where I was crying before a race. I kind of felt like a sissy, but it worked out.
care effect individual strong takes team whatever
I'm a part of Team USA. I'm going to do whatever it takes to make my team as strong as it can be. I didn't care about how it was going to effect my individual race. I don't care about that. I care about being part of the team.
anybody bigger felt heart refusing skater
My heart is bigger than anybody else out there. If another skater had felt like I did today, he wouldn't have been on the podium. That's just me refusing to lose.
