eric media people record specific tough
I think the media has thought a lot more about the Heiden record than I have. Eric has said that it's tough to do what he did in 1980 because people are specializing in specific events.
eric
Speculation of doing what Eric did, I would like to downplay that a little bit.
built eric hype next
I built up the hype I guess. But I never said I'm going to be the next Eric Heiden.
eric talk
All the talk about Eric Heiden I'd like to downplay that.
boils relationship respect
I respect him as an athlete. That's what our relationship boils down to.
focus helps stay
I think it really helps to stay away from that and really focus on what you are here for.
deal events five pick snap time took whenever
The 1,000-meters and 1,500-meters took a lot of snap out of my legs. And I just didn't feel like myself. That's part of the deal whenever you pick five different events and try to go for something spectacular. You end up sacrificing some time in different events.
adrenaline nervous pressure pumping
That's the way I put pressure on myself. It makes me more nervous, and the more nervous I am, the more adrenaline I have pumping through my body.
create speed today
Today was a day for me to create my speed so when I go out for the 1,500 meter on Wednesday, I can get my speed early.
beat fought game
We fought each other. We wanted to beat each other and we didn't have a game plan.
fought
We fought each other and not the clock.
fighter five gold hard medals race win
We have a lot of common, in here, in the heart. He was a fighter just like me. You don't win five gold medals without heart. It's hard to race all those different distances.
determine guys selfish
He's doing what he has to do. You guys can determine if he's being selfish or not.
great skate
He had a great skate today. That's all I have to say.
