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.
died pro putting reason skaters staying top training whatever
For whatever reason, the pro world has kind of died out, and the skaters are staying in, staying competitive, putting in the effort, the training to stay at the top of their game. It's difficult.
champion definitely last skated strongly top
She's the World Champion from last year. She's skated really strongly all season. She's definitely one of the top contenders.
asked believed finish great judges marks ovation program standing stayed strong top
I stayed strong, and I believed in myself and to finish up a strong program and get a standing ovation and then to have the judges give me great marks on top of that was everything I could have asked for.
hard people top
In a way it kind of humanizes the sport to see that people can be at the very top of the sport and have hard times.
bad deal edge gives good hard icon life people persevere seen top
In a way it kind of humanizes the sport. She is someone that has been an icon that's always been there, and you have always seen her hard edge and she's always competed and done well. And to see that people can be at the very top of the sport and can also have hard times just humanizes it for other athletes. To know there are good times and there are bad times, and you have to persevere and kind of deal with what life gives you.
anybody short square starting three top
It's going to be like starting over. Like the short didn't really count. Back to square one. It's kind of like the old system. Anybody in the top three can win.
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.
hard icon people top
It kind of humanizes the sport. She's been an icon of the sport. To see that people can be at top of the sport and also have hard times, it humanizes the sport.
best hopefully job name possible strongest top
I think it's the committee's job to name the strongest possible team, and hopefully if everyone's in their top form, they probably made the best decision.
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.
performance silver
I think it was a gift. For that performance, silver is generous.
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.
jumps nervous
I think I was probably not nervous but just a little apprehensive. Ultimately, the jumps just weren't there.
