close easy finishing found reaching realized six skater surpass ten three time top year
In the year 2000, finishing in the world top ten was our aim, and when we made it we thought that being in the top six would be enough. After reaching that goal, we realized that the world top three was so close and at that time we found it easy to surpass one skater after another.

badly bronze depressed difficult focus found fully last progress since skated slight training winning
After winning bronze at the worlds, we found that to make even slight progress was very difficult and sometimes we even went backwards, which depressed us very much. Since we thought too much about these things, we didn't fully focus on our training and skated badly last season.
