I thought just standing on the podium at nationals was such a great feeling for me to be third. Whatever decision they make, I think it will be a good one. I'm going to go home and train because you never know what will happen.
She said to just have fun with everything. And I feel like I went out and had fun. It's great she's been here with my whole family and been so supportive. Now that I'm on the ice and she's up in the stands, I know how she feels. Maybe she knows how I feel, too.
It was great to be there and to feel the excitement when she skated. I got to experience being on the outside, and now I get to skate and she's on the outside. I think that has helped me coming into this Olympics.
I did start by being a little slow this year, but right before nationals I stepped up my training. At nationals, it was such a great experience to get onto the podium. I'm so excited to have the whole Olympic experience.
