best build holding last prepare realized
The best way I can prepare is to build up and be my best. What I've realized over the last two years is the only thing holding me back from being my best is me.
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.
best chance earn everybody girls hard job olympic pick skaters spot three worked
It's hard for the girls here and everybody has worked so hard to earn a spot on the team. But it's the U.S. Olympic Committee's job to pick the three skaters who have the best chance at the Olympics.
best definitely last olympic skaters sort stay step time tough
It's definitely tough to know you're going to be the last one. It's the best skaters in the world, it's the Olympic Games, it's 11:30 at night. But you just sort of stay in your own world, take it one step at a time and stay strong.
best matter personal time
Of course, I say all the time my personal best is what I am in this for. No matter if I won, it's if I did all I can do.
best feet proud tried
I tried my best and was over my feet on the jump. I was proud to come back from it and it was really hard.
best decision earned hard hope nice since whoever worked
It's a hard decision for whoever has to make it. I hope the best decision is made. I know they worked hard all year, and it would be nice for them to go since they earned their spots.
best hopefully job name possible strongest top
I think it's the committee's job to name the strongest possible team, and hopefully if everyone's in their top form, they probably made the best decision.
anyone best consider count granted prepare
I don't take anything for granted with nationals. I can't count out anyone or know what anyone is doing. I have to prepare the best I can, that's all I can control. I don't consider myself to have anything on a platter.
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.
great work
It was great that she tried, but things don't always work out.
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).
