Ben Agosto Quotations

I think the moment we saw the flag rising was the one we did not allow ourselves to even imagine.

I really feel this medal belongs not just to us, but to a lot of people who put in a lot of hard work and weren't able to break through. We were very inspired by them.

I really feel that this medal belongs to a lot of people who, year in and year out, put in dedication to this sport, who came before us and built the sport of ice dancing in the States.

I really feel that this medal belongs to a lot of people who put in years and years of hard work and dedication in this sport; the teams who came before us and were never able to break through.

We really feel this medal belongs to a lot of people who have come before us and who have put in years and years of dedication. We definitely wouldn't be here without those people. They've been building the sport in the U.S. for years.

We knew there were seven or eight teams with a chance of making the podium, and the new system allows for unpredictability. I feel this medal belongs to a lot of people who built the sport in the U.S. and weren't able to break through.

We felt like we skated pretty well and we got good marks. And we're looking forward to better performances on Sunday (original dance) and Monday (free dance).

We feel the pressure, but we felt that at the world championships last year, when no American team had ever won silver. We came through there, and we think we can do it again at the Olympics.

That question fills me with euphoria. We don't want to bog ourselves down with thinking too much. We want to go and enjoy the experience.

Since we've gotten back, a lot of kids have come to the rink. It's really special to feel that we may be helping to inspire future skaters and future champions.
