I knew Carl and I were skating for silver.

He went out and showed everybody. We were out there crying and giving each other hugs. I knew he had it inside him.

I think the media has thought a lot more about the Heiden record than I have. Eric has said that it's tough to do what he did in 1980 because people are specializing in specific events.

We're all in the same boat. It comes down to the day. You test it out in warm-up. You have to adapt as quickly as possible.

The 1,000-meters and 1,500-meters took a lot of snap out of my legs. And I just didn't feel like myself. That's part of the deal whenever you pick five different events and try to go for something spectacular. You end up sacrificing some time in different events.

There's nothing to kiss and hug about.
