against happy justice russian
We're happy that justice was done. It doesn't take away anything from (the Russian skaters). It was not something against them. It was something against the system.
bring gotten
I was one of the first to bring up that question, and I still haven't gotten an answer.
corruption skating
Corruption in skating has been there for 100 years, and it still will be there. We just won't know about it.
enjoyed olympic percent
It doesn't take away anything from what we did. We're still proud, and we still enjoyed 100 percent our Olympic experience.
asked athletes except gold happens lose nobody olympics quickly realize receive sure
Nobody asked us how we'd like to receive (their gold medals). It sure wouldn't have been the way it was done. But you quickly realize the athletes have no say in what happens at the Olympics except for your performance. After that, you lose control.
