automatic found perfect pump robot searching
I still haven't found that automatic robot to pump out the perfect performances. That is something I am still searching for.
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.
love vancouver
I'd love to be back in Vancouver in 2010.
course field mean motivates national time title win
Of course it can be frustrating. I went through a time when I thought, 'Why doesn't she retire? Give someone else a turn.' But at the same time, that motivates me. When the field is weak, you become weak. When I do win a national title it would mean a lot more if she's there.
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.
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.
block pull rest somehow together
I was somehow able to block it out and pull myself together for the rest of the program. But it just wasn't my night.
bit great injury tough work
I'm a little bit shocked. I know how tough it is to come back from an injury and get yourself together. It's great she tried, but things don't always work out.
champion definitely last skated strongly top
She's the World Champion from last year. She's skated really strongly all season. She's definitely one of the top contenders.
deserved skated strong
She skated really, really well. The two triple-triples made for a really strong program. She deserved to be first.
came game input mature maturity older plan responsibility skater slow telling
When I came back to Mr. Nicks, he said a skater who is older and more mature should have more input and responsibility for her skating. I feel I set my game plan and goals. He is always the one who is telling me to slow down a little bit.
definitely mean national win
When I do win a national title, it would definitely mean a lot more if (Kwan) is there.
