I think it's hard for the girls here and everyone who's worked so hard to make the Olympic team.

I enjoyed the experience. I think as a person I matured and I was strong through it all. I'm happy with it. I'm just really ecstatic to come out with a medal.

allowed both brother couple government leave left mom parents sell took
My mom and her parents had to leave because her brother had left a couple of years before and the government was really upset. They took away both my grandparents' jobs, so they couldn't make a living. They had to sell all their things. They weren't allowed to take more than $500 out of the country.
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.
jumps nervous
I think I was probably not nervous but just a little apprehensive. Ultimately, the jumps just weren't there.
bit olympics stronger
Usually, the Olympics is a bit stronger competition.
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.
