It's our responsibility to be a good role model and to carry ourselves in a way that would make our country proud.

She's the World Champion from last year. She's skated really strongly all season. She's definitely one of the top contenders.
age-and-aging brand care competing ice senior seven six
Ice is maintenance. When you get to be my age, with six or seven years competing at the senior level, you have to take care of your body. It's not brand new.
gold special storage
I've got a lot of silvers in different shoeboxes in storage units all over the place. But I think the gold one will have a special place.
easygoing
I think we're much more easygoing this time. It's like water, Kleenex...
create dresses fun girls good john pink sick trying
John was sick of having little girls in pink dresses who were just trying their best. He would try to create controversy. It was not always good for me, but it was fun for him.

I celebrate Hanukkah. Anything with gifts is good.
bit changed sitting took
After my skate, I took off my dress, I changed and I really didn't think I was going to get a medal. I was just a little bit in shock, just sitting there.
goes prepared
It goes back to preparation. I still never feel like I've been as prepared as I could or should be. That's why I'm emphasizing that in my training.

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.

My big weaknesses (in the past) have been a lack of preparation, a lack of knowledge and perhaps not enough confidence and afraid of mistakes. I need to stop trying to be perfect and just worry about becoming better.
couple gold medal nice olympic winning
I think about winning the Olympic gold medal a couple of times every day. Oh, it would be so nice to take one of those home.
asking calling cares involved people skater stay top ultimately
You just have to stay on top of the ball, and keep calling people and asking people, and not get one opinion, but 20. It always changes. It's very important to be involved as a skater because ultimately no one cares more about how you do than yourself.
bit olympics stronger
Usually, the Olympics is a bit stronger competition.
