Tong Jian Quotations

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.

I am so happy for how we skated.

I am sitting here, but my mind is still in the kiss and cry area of the arena when we were waiting for the scores.

This is the first time we have stood on the top of podium and I am so happy, my mind is still in the arena.

We are quite happy with our performance today. There were just small imperfections. We can do better in the free skating.

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.

The first part of our performance was good. But we were not too satisfied with how we skated tonight, it did not really represent our level during recent training.

This is our first time standing on the highest podium. I am in a mode of extreme happiness.

We still have to make up the classes on basic skating skills and we need to further perfect them at the same time. Although it is hard for us, we won't give up.

Although we had a fall on a jump we did our best on all our other elements.
