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.
dizzy learn stay
First, you get really dizzy and you learn that you have to center, to stay in one spot.
present stay
You have to stay in the present and give it your 100 percent.
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.
believed difficult skate stayed step strong took
It was difficult to skate at the end after so many strong performances and I just took it one step at a time. I stayed strong and I believed in myself.
died pro putting reason skaters staying top training whatever
For whatever reason, the pro world has kind of died out, and the skaters are staying in, staying competitive, putting in the effort, the training to stay at the top of their game. It's difficult.
asking calling cares involved people skater stay top ultimately
You just have to stay on top of the ball, and keep calling people and asking people, and not get one opinion, but 20. It always changes. It's very important to be involved as a skater because ultimately no one cares more about how you do than yourself.
sports fitness stay-strong
A year ago I had a back injury and followed a good nutrition program to help speed up my recovery. I focused on exercise and staying healthy in order to get back out on the ice.
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.
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.
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).
