bad bit less major mistake spin
The mistake on the combination and the one combination spin was kind of slow, and I can do my spins a little bit better. I didn't really feel that bad after the mistake because it wasn't a major mistake. I still got the combination off. With being sick, you have less energy.
good judges might work
I think the judges know what they're doing. What I put out there is what they scored me on. I might have some things to work on, but I think the judges did a good job.
gold lifetime maybe performance rule skate trying
I think that if I skate really well and give the performance of my lifetime ... maybe I could (win gold). I'm not going to rule it out, but I'm just trying to think about what I need to do right now.
definitely fun hard
Fun definitely has to be in it. If you don't have fun, it's hard to do your best. It's not going to be enjoyable, you know?
ahead brought mistake program
I got a little ahead of myself, and I had to do a three-turn between them. I don't think that one mistake brought the whole program down.
enjoy inspiring people
The people that win, they really have something special, they really enjoy it, they are in there for that moment. It is so inspiring because you can really feel what they are feeling.

I am so happy with myself; it's an awesome feeling.

I definitely wanted to do a clean short program, so I think I get an 'A' for that. Now I just want to do a clean long. I feel pretty good about going for a medal.

I'm just going to try to do a clean long. Right now, I feel pretty good about going for a medal.

I'm very pleased with my performance, I felt I gave it all I had. I'm sort of relaxed, but if I could, I would like to do the last element again.
fun enjoyable hard
If you don’t have fun, it’s hard to do your best. It’s not going to be enjoyable.
thinking competition going-out
For my first pretty big international competition and the Olympics, I think I did pretty well. Medals aren't everything. It's all about you going out there and having a good time. I feel proud of myself.
figured fun hit jump worlds
I just figured this was my first worlds so just have fun with it, and when I hit my first jump I was like, 'I can do it.
