happy race trained
I'm just just happy about my race. More than anything, the things that I've trained for, I was right about.
guess guys meant tried
I guess it was not meant for me to do it. I tried my best. My hat's off to the guys who made the team.
happy improvement record rink
Because it's an improvement. As long as I'm improving, I'm pretty happy if it's a world record or a rink record.
closing emotional events job stay trying
I'm trying not to get too emotional because I have more events. I'll be emotional in the closing ceremony, but I've got a job to do. I've got to stay focused.
beat trying
I'm not trying to beat Chad. I'm trying to beat everyone.
chad fighting fights-and-fighting good honest nice shook teammate won
I'll be honest with you. Sure, Chad and I are fighting for the same thing. But it would have been kind of nice after I won the 1,000 if he would have been a good teammate and shook my hand.
business floor mind minds top
He's on the top floor and I'm on the first floor. I mind my business and he minds his business and whatever's whatever.
expect less position thousands
I didn't expect anything less from Chad. He is very experienced and he has been in this position thousands and thousands of times.
great hope
Chad's awesome. I hope he does great in all his races.
love patriotic white
I love my city. I love baseball. I love the White Sox. That's a lot of patriotic things.
anybody
If he would have done it, I don't think there would have been anybody more deserving.
fight roll
It's not like we're going to fight each other and roll around in the snow. We're adults.
deep good rough tough
Things have been really tough for me. . . . It's been a really, really rough road. But I always knew, deep down inside, that I was a good skater.
decided opera scholars-and-scholarship soap
It started to become a soap opera in there, so I decided to leave.
