Miki Ando Quotations

I'd be lying if I said I don't have any regrets with my skating today, but I believe I'll feel a different feeling if I go to an Olympics for the second time.

Whether I make it or not, I think it's important to try, especially in a big event like this.

I've been having a dream of giving it a shot in an Olympics ever since I first landed a quad. I don't feel any pressure at all. I'll be happy if I enjoy skating here and happier if I land a quad.

Some will say I don't deserve to go to Turin based on this result and that hurts.

The Olympic Games is the biggest occasion of my sports career.

The Olympic Games are the biggest occasion of my sporting career. If there is a chance, I'll try and, if it is successful, I'll thank God.

I want to keep performing with smiles for the people who shared my idea to buy the bands.

I want to experience that feeling a bit.

After today's showing I was not confident (of making the Olympic team). The other skaters all did so well, but I didn't do my best. After my performance I thought I would just have to train harder for the Olympics in four years.

I'm glad that I'm going to the Olympics but I'm disappointed with the result this time at the national championships. I know I have to try much harder before skating in Turin.

I'm very tired. When I was spinning I thought it would be a good quad but I'm glad I could make the challenge anyway.
