four matured past skater
I feel I've matured as a skater and a person in the past four years.
competition free strong time tonight
I'm going to take in tonight. It's a very strong competition. I'm going to take it one day at a time and do the same thing as I did tonight (in the free skate).
feeling last
I'm not feeling any pressure. We're used to being the very last in the spotlight.
I'm really excited. I think it was a gift. I'm very pleased.
american-athlete areas best eating favorite girls giving help hope
I hope to show girls that eating smart, without giving up their favorite foods, can help them be their best in all areas of their lives.
hard people top
In a way it kind of humanizes the sport to see that people can be at the very top of the sport and have hard times.
bad deal edge gives good hard icon life people persevere seen top
In a way it kind of humanizes the sport. She is someone that has been an icon that's always been there, and you have always seen her hard edge and she's always competed and done well. And to see that people can be at the very top of the sport and can also have hard times just humanizes it for other athletes. To know there are good times and there are bad times, and you have to persevere and kind of deal with what life gives you.
checked fact given jumping merely weight
I like the fact they give weight to spins, spirals, footwork, transitions. Something that was merely checked off before and jumping was given all the weight. For me, I'm very appreciative of the new system.
country cities trying
No matter where I am, especially when I'm on tour around the country, Caesar salad is my standby. In a random city and eating in random to-go restaurants, you're kind of scared about trying things, but you can always count on a Caesar salad.
japan whales
I had whale tartare when I was in Japan, but I probably wouldn't have it again.
makeup events attention
I love attention. I love going to events and photo shoots... I enjoy it all; the clothing, the makeup, the excitement.
sports land competition
I want to be the first lady to land a quadruple jump in competition. As I grow older, I know that my skating style will develop and mature.
littles causes skating
I'd like to cause a little riot in skating.
years schedules academic
My academic schedule is lighter this year because it's an Olympic year.
