I'm going to take in tonight. It's a very strong competition. I'm going to take it one day at a time and do the same thing as I did tonight (in the free skate).

I would never let myself believe that. I'm a strong athlete and I definitely believe I'm getting stronger.

I enjoyed the experience. I think as a person I matured and I was strong through it all. I'm happy with it. I'm just really ecstatic to come out with a medal.
beginning days due good healthy nice program strength strong taken time training turned
I haven't done that program in a long time (eight days due to the flu) so it was nice it turned out pretty well. I was a little slow. I wouldn't necessarily say cautious. It's taken away from my strength and energy. It was good I made it from beginning to end without being late. When I'm healthy and training good, this will be a strong program for me.

She skated really, really well. The two triple-triples made for a really strong program. She deserved to be first.

It was difficult to skate at the end after so many strong performances and I just took it one step at a time. I stayed strong and I believed in myself.

boxes gold national shoe special storage
I've always wanted a national title. I've got a lot of silvers in shoe boxes and storage units all over the place. I think the gold one will have a special place.
ready time
It can be frustrating, ... But I am where I am, and everyone has their own trajectory. I know my time will come. I just have to be ready for it.
checked excited fact gives jumps system weight works
It works well for my skating. I like the fact it gives weight to spins and jumps that were only checked off (under the 6.0 system). I'm really excited for the new system at Nationals.
icing means rewarded skate top
It's wonderful. It means so much to skate well, and then be rewarded on top of that is icing on the cake.
automatic found perfect pump robot searching
I still haven't found that automatic robot to pump out the perfect performances. That is something I am still searching for.
