badly fell half knocked leg numb today took wind
I got the wind knocked out of me badly so it took about half way through before I got my wind back, and I fell on my leg so it kind of went numb on me. But it was enough. That's what today is about.
five last single thinking
I think when I was about 14 or 15 I decided, ?I think I'm going to go to the Olympics. So for about the last five years I've been thinking about it every day. Every single day.
audience program stayed
I thought I stayed with the program and with the character, and the audience was great, ... Grease.
four half hard life minutes worked
I worked hard and it is a long season. I told myself that it is just four and a half minutes out of my life and to try my best.
easiest jump
I wasn't disappointed with the score. I was just disappointed in the jump. It's the easiest jump in my program.
build gauge hope ice last music results trying
I'm here trying to gauge my music and the ice and get into the season. Last season, we had the same plan, to build up slowly. This year, I just hope for better results at the end of the year.
almost good land
I can land almost everything, ... I thought I do a good performance.
ahead entire excited less life minor mistakes olympics point second ton waiting work
I am so excited to come in second in the competition, but if just one of those minor mistakes that I made would have not been there, it would have made up that less than one point to first. I am so honored; the Olympics has been a life-long dream. I know that I have a ton of work ahead of me, but it is work I have been waiting my entire life to do.
grand third year
Obviously, this year there are some expectations on me to perform, but this is only my third Grand Prix of my life.
compete guys hopefully last since
Since last year, I've made so many improvements already that hopefully I can go out and compete with these guys and be that much better.
certainly depth four great top wonderful
We've always had great depth in our men. Certainly we have it this year. And what I think is so wonderful about the top four is that each one has a completely different style.
almost sad super
We see her as this almost goddess-like super human. I'm very sad for her.

You can know what score you're planning for.

They kind of skipped over her, but she proved them wrong. I hope she can keep it up.
