bad ethic few great huge lesson lose skaters work
I've always emulated her work ethic because she was one of the few skaters that didn't lose her temper, that would have a bad day, but have a great attitude, come back and try again. That was a huge lesson for me to learn.
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.
checked excited fact gives jumps system weight works
It works well for my skating. I like the fact it gives weight to spins and jumps that were only checked off (under the 6.0 system). I'm really excited for the new system at Nationals.
best chance earn everybody girls hard job olympic pick skaters spot three worked
It's hard for the girls here and everybody has worked so hard to earn a spot on the team. But it's the U.S. Olympic Committee's job to pick the three skaters who have the best chance at the Olympics.
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.
assume coach gets great responsibility skater works
When a skater gets older, they become more mature, and they can assume more responsibility for their skating, ... That's how I've evolved. I know what works and what doesn't, and Mr. Nicks is a great coach for me.
girls hard olympic worked
I think it's hard for the girls here and everyone who's worked so hard to make the Olympic team.
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.
bit chance found great injury thoughts tough work
I just found out and I was a little bit shocked; my thoughts haven't had much of a chance to formulate. But I know it must be really disappointing to have to withdraw. I know how tough it is to come back from injury and get yourself together. It was great that she tried, but things don't always work out.
great work
It was great that she tried, but things don't always work out.
motivational dream hard-work
Follow your dreams, work hard, practice and persevere. Make sure you eat a variety of foods, get plenty of exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
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.
