biggest experience fun knowing last learning olympics sad senior step
I'm a little sad it's over. This whole experience has been so much fun actually, not knowing what to expect. It's been the biggest learning experience. It's my first Olympics and my first senior international. It's been a big step up from last year. I'll take a lot away.
coming excitement experience great helped skate
It was great to be there and to feel the excitement when she skated. I got to experience being on the outside, and now I get to skate and she's on the outside. I think that has helped me coming into this Olympics.
bad compare compared definitely eventually gold sister
I'm definitely a different person than Sarah, but she is my sister and everyone eventually will compare us. I don't think it's too bad to be compared to the gold medalist.
bad compared gold hope nice olympic people
I hope that people see me and see a different skater. But it's not bad being compared to the Olympic gold medalist, and it's nice having her in the family.

I'm just ready to compete, whatever it is. Right now it is the Olympics.

This whole experience has been so much fun, actually, not knowing what to expect. It's been the biggest learning experience.

Both of us are really competitive people, which is probably why we're in figure skating. We were never really competitive against each other; we never competed against each other.

I've been here a week-and-a-half, but it feels like a year. Michelle is such an accomplished skater and I thought it was important for her to have every opportunity to be here. I'm just glad I had the opportunity to come here and have the experience. It has been so much fun. I've just enjoyed every minute.

A little over a week ago, I wasn't even supposed to be here. I went out there for warm-ups and they were shouting my name. That's the first time that ever happened.

I got to run through my short program and it went really well. I think I'm pretty much over my jet lag.
