fifth jones moving picked race roy
I'm like Roy Jones Jr. moving up to heavyweight. I picked up a new race and I got fifth in the world. I think that's pretty good.
affect care individual team
I'm part of team USA. I don't care about how it's going to affect my individual race. I'm part of the team.
energy expected gone laps race stay strategy
If I would have been the back, with the energy I had left, I probably could have gone through more laps when the race was done. The strategy we set out backfired on us. We expected KC to be able to stay in there and KC expected to stay. It wasn't in the cards.
quit until
I haven't accomplished all my goals. I won't quit until I get there.
few happy head hold left medals skate
I'm very happy with my accomplishments. But at the same time, I feel like I left a lot of medals out there. I didn't skate perfect. I let myself down a few times, but I have to hold my head high.
talked
I haven't talked to him. And probably won't talk to him.
expect win
I didn't expect to win the race; it's a new one to me.
expect hold race win
I didn't think it would hold up. I didn't expect to win this race today.
exactly hours ice win
I didn't exactly put in all those hours on the ice to win a team-pursuit medal.
expected finish second skate
I never expected to finish second or third. I always skate to win.
best catching decided laps rest six
I could feel Carl catching me. I decided with six laps to go that the best way was to rest a little bit, let him catch me, let him think he has me. Then I sprinted away from him on that one lap.
built eric hype next
I built up the hype I guess. But I never said I'm going to be the next Eric Heiden.
came eyes less reason wasting
I came here to win. If you come here for any other reason than that, in my eyes you're wasting your time. Anything less than a win, second, fourth, eighth, 10th, 50th, it's all the same thing to me.
asked came team
I came here for my own races. They asked me to do the team pursuit. It's not really my thing but for my team I will do it. I'm going to be my best.
