Emily Hughes Experience Quotations

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.

In Salt Lake, my whole family was there to cheer for Sarah. We were really high in the third tier. ... I think that experience on the outside helped me coming to this Olympics.

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.

This whole experience has been so much fun, actually, not knowing what to expect. It's been the biggest learning experience.

I'm a little sad it's over. This whole experience has been so much fun actually, not knowing what to expect. It's been the biggest learning experience. It's my first Olympics and my first senior international. It's been a big step up from last year. I'll take a lot away.
