certainly depth four great top wonderful
We've always had great depth in our men. Certainly we have it this year. And what I think is so wonderful about the top four is that each one has a completely different style.
four half hard life minutes worked
I worked hard and it is a long season. I told myself that it is just four and a half minutes out of my life and to try my best.
audience program stayed
I thought I stayed with the program and with the character, and the audience was great, ... Grease.
build gauge hope ice last music results trying
I'm here trying to gauge my music and the ice and get into the season. Last season, we had the same plan, to build up slowly. This year, I just hope for better results at the end of the year.

I wasn't disappointed with the score. I was just disappointed in the jump. It's the easiest jump in my program.

I think when I was about 14 or 15 I decided, ?I think I'm going to go to the Olympics. So for about the last five years I've been thinking about it every day. Every single day.

It's been a very successful season for me. My best ever.

After the pairs short program (Saturday), I have adrenaline. I came back like I had just arrived and I'm in competition mode. I've had four clean run-throughs in the last four days.

I'm going to slip in under the radar. I know I'm ready. I know I'm trained.
element missed season short
That's the first element I have missed all season in the short program. Obviously, a very uncharacteristic mistake.
became collapse dreamed falling hard include olympics short sick stomach stuck upwards veins
It's hard because I dreamed about the Olympics for upwards of a decade. And that dream didn't include getting sick with a stomach flu, getting stuck with IVs, having my veins collapse and falling in the short program. It became about something different ... courage.
planning score
You can know what score you're planning for.
almost sad super
We see her as this almost goddess-like super human. I'm very sad for her.

They kind of skipped over her, but she proved them wrong. I hope she can keep it up.
