As an athlete, I've always been very proud to represent the United States.

I needed to turn off the negative voice in my head - I was psyching myself out.

The one who wins all the time is great and powerful, but the one who had been trampled on and fallen is who I admire the most

To represent your country is an honor and a great experience.

When I look at the kids training today... I can tell which ones are going to do well. It's not necessarily the ones who have the most natural talent or who fall the least. Sometimes it's the kids who fall the most, and keep pulling themselves up and trying again.

I didn't lose the gold. I won the silver.

Literally falling on the ice and having to pick yourself up in front of thousands of people is not an easy thing to do. The thing that you learn is to pick yourself back up, to learn from your mistakes.
