She's the World Champion from last year. She's skated really strongly all season. She's definitely one of the top contenders.

When I do win a national title, it would definitely mean a lot more if (Kwan) is there.

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.

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.
bit couple definitely hard jumps medal nice time
I was disappointed and in a little bit of shock. I had a really hard time with a couple of jumps in the warm-up and I just couldn't get over it. I definitely didn't think I was going to get any medal at all at the end of the program, so it was a nice surprise.

I would never let myself believe that. I'm a strong athlete and I definitely believe I'm getting stronger.

If she's healthy and able to compete, she's definitely one of the strongest to compete for the United States at the Olympics.

Definitely you have to be able to handle pressure and shake off any mistake and I kind of didn't do that tonight. I let that first mistake creep in. I have to be tougher.
believe definitely felt strong test tried until
I definitely don't feel flawless. I felt strong and I made it happen. I tried to believe in myself. You don't know how strong you are until you test yourself.
bit definitely finished medal
I definitely didn't think I was going to get any medal when I finished skating. I was just in a little bit of shock.
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.
present stay
You have to stay in the present and give it your 100 percent.
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.
crushed learned major turn
At the time, I was devastated, crushed that it didn't turn out how I wanted. But it was my first major international event, so I learned a lot from it.
