appreciate enjoy figure five ice might nice realize seconds stand train year
You figure you train all year for this, you're so nervous, so you might as well stand on the ice and enjoy it for more than five seconds. I realize everything I have been through and what I have done, appreciate the audience. It's nice to have just 30 seconds of relief.
definitely mean michelle overcame proud sick titles won
I was proud of myself for what I overcame with being sick this week. But it definitely would mean more with Michelle here. She's won so many titles in the past, and I was always second, but I'm not complaining about this title.
brought mother raised
I wasn't raised going to synagogue. My mother wasn't brought up with that, so I wasn't brought up with it.
athlete athletics believe definitely strong
I would never let myself believe that. I'm a strong athlete and I definitely believe I'm getting stronger.
afraid becoming confidence knowledge lack perfect perhaps stop trying weaknesses worry
My big weaknesses (in the past) have been a lack of preparation, a lack of knowledge and perhaps not enough confidence and afraid of mistakes. I need to stop trying to be perfect and just worry about becoming better.
definitely gave percent regrets
I was very disappointed with my skate. I definitely gave 100 percent in my effort, I gave it my all. So I have no regrets with that. But it just wasn't my night.
feels girls weird
It feels a little weird without Michelle. Just me and all these little girls.
competing empty felt michelle miss
It felt a little empty with her not here. Michelle has always been a big part of the event. I miss competing with her. It really doesn't feel like the Nationals.
automatic found perfect pump robot searching
I still haven't found that automatic robot to pump out the perfect performances. That is something I am still searching for.
boxes changed focus four medals none past random shoe
I think over the past four years, I have changed as a person - because my focus is not on the medal. None of the medals I have at home, I even know where they are - they're in shoe boxes and random places.
asking calling cares involved people skater stay top ultimately
You just have to stay on top of the ball, and keep calling people and asking people, and not get one opinion, but 20. It always changes. It's very important to be involved as a skater because ultimately no one cares more about how you do than yourself.
jumps nervous
I think I was probably not nervous but just a little apprehensive. Ultimately, the jumps just weren't there.
create dresses fun girls good john pink sick trying
John was sick of having little girls in pink dresses who were just trying their best. He would try to create controversy. It was not always good for me, but it was fun for him.
bit olympics stronger
Usually, the Olympics is a bit stronger competition.
