We have a lot of common, in here, in the heart. He was a fighter just like me. You don't win five gold medals without heart. It's hard to race all those different distances.

I never expected to finish second or third. I always skate to win.

I knew Carl and I were skating for silver.

I'm like Roy Jones Jr. moving up to heavyweight. I picked up a new race and I got fifth in the world. I think that's pretty good.

It's such a difficult thing to do. I'm trying not to worry about the pressure of it.

I'm going to go out there and compete like I always do, but at the same time I'm going to use it to develop speed for the first lap of my 1,500. I think that's a good thing. I think it's going to help me, so I'm happy Bart talked me into it.

I'm going to bounce back and prove to everybody what I can do. You may beat Chad Hedrick once, but you're not going to beat him twice.

I'm going to be back, and we're going to make another run for it in Vancouver.

I'm part of team USA. I don't care about how it's going to affect my individual race. I'm part of the team.
energy expected gone laps race stay strategy
If I would have been the back, with the energy I had left, I probably could have gone through more laps when the race was done. The strategy we set out backfired on us. We expected KC to be able to stay in there and KC expected to stay. It wasn't in the cards.
quit until
I haven't accomplished all my goals. I won't quit until I get there.
