It's great to win a bronze medal, but I just want to focus on the next races coming up.

Growing up, you always dream of winning a gold medal. But coming into these Games, it wasn't something I was focused on. I'm just enjoying skating. This is the best season ever. I think that this year, my 3,000 meters has been stronger than the 1,500. The 1,500 has been anybody's race this year. When I was first, I still didn't know if that was enough.

It's devastating. We wanted that bronze medal every bit as much as we wanted to win the semi-final. We had given some great performances over the last week but just came out on the wrong end of it.

I felt I would have the bronze medal. I felt the Korean team did something.

I still have a medal and I am very happy for my bronze and happy for the Swedish nation that I could bring back a medal. But I really, really do hope the snow is harder (Sunday) than it is right now and the weather will not destroy the race.

We came for a medal and we didn't care what color it was. We're very happy with a bronze.
