I wanted to enjoy the performance. This is a really fun program, a Gypsy number. It's very seductive and playful and it's getting involved with the crowd and the judges. I enjoyed it and just let it happen.
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.

bronze changed enjoying experience focus four last learned oh process sure surprised
I was surprised when I learned I would be for sure getting a bronze and even more surprised when I going to be getting a silver. It was kind of like, oh that's nice. But over the last four years, I changed as a person. My focus is not on the medal. For me it's the experience and the process and enjoying it.

I've just kind of evolved in the way I think. I learned to just enjoy it. I feel really lucky to do what I do, be in the situation I'm in, and I love it. I'm going to have fun out there and trust my training and not worry, because I've figured out the worry doesn't help.

Amazing. I really enjoyed it. I didn't know what it would be like. They said they would love to have me back.

I really wanted to soak it in. Everyone is so quick to get off (of the ice), but we work so hard for this. It's nice to take two minutes to enjoy your accomplishments.
bed enjoyed figured fun happen ice numerous performance seen training trust week worry
I really enjoyed the performance tonight, and I've had a whole week of unknowns, being in bed with the flu. Ice is slippery, and anything can happen to anybody. I have seen that at numerous events. I am going to have fun out there and trust my training and not worry. I have figured out that worry doesn't help.

I've stopped trying to be perfect. When I train, I'm not afraid to make a mistake. I train harder and make more mistakes, but I feel more prepared. I'm not holding back and becoming a better athlete.
athletic believe beyond carried coming dark easy emotional goes music slammed triple
It was very difficult. I wasn't coming back with an easy jump, with the triple loop, which I also slammed in the warm-up. I was able to believe when everything was dark and gray. The music carried me through. It goes beyond an athletic event, goes to emotional experience.
