I did start by being a little slow this year, but right before nationals I stepped up my training. At nationals, it was such a great experience to get onto the podium. I'm so excited to have the whole Olympic experience.

It was great to be there and to feel the excitement when she skated. I got to experience being on the outside, and now I get to skate and she's on the outside. I think that has helped me coming into this Olympics.

I've been here a week-and-a-half, but it feels like a year. Michelle is such an accomplished skater and I thought it was important for her to have every opportunity to be here. I'm just glad I had the opportunity to come here and have the experience. It has been so much fun. I've just enjoyed every minute.
