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.
great knows nice relaxing season wait
It's been very nice and very relaxing to be back in California. And Mr. Nicks knows me so well. I'm in a great situation, and I can't wait to get the season started.
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.
choose explore express nice options people skate whatever window
This is really a window for people to choose what they want to skate to and try to explore new things, just do whatever they want. It's really nice to have options to express our creativity.
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.
couple gold medal nice olympic winning
I think about winning the Olympic gold medal a couple of times every day. Oh, it would be so nice to take one of those home.
enjoy hard minutes nice quick soak work
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.
beginning days due good healthy nice program strength strong taken time training turned
I haven't done that program in a long time (eight days due to the flu) so it was nice it turned out pretty well. I was a little slow. I wouldn't necessarily say cautious. It's taken away from my strength and energy. It was good I made it from beginning to end without being late. When I'm healthy and training good, this will be a strong program for me.
asked couple fell great hi mom nearly nice prove talked
I asked him to say hi to my mom to prove he was there, and he was really great and nice and talked to her for a couple of minutes. My mom said she nearly fell off her chair, she was so excited.
afraid becoming harder holding stopped train trying
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.
asked believed finish great judges marks ovation program standing stayed strong top
I stayed strong, and I believed in myself and to finish up a strong program and get a standing ovation and then to have the judges give me great marks on top of that was everything I could have asked for.
ambiguous leave shall
I shall leave you with an ambiguous answer.
confidence expected gave hard percent practice skate training
I've been training very hard and very well, ... I've been nailing 99 percent of what I do in practice. That gave me the confidence to do this. I expected to skate well.
