It's really exciting. Not just to win the silver medal, but also the fact that I skated my best possible race. That's almost more exciting.

Instead of thinking about how to win the silver medal, he should have thought how to win the gold.

It's going to be a full slate at the Olympics. The 1,000 hasn't been my priority this year but it's an event I've used a lot to help me in the longer distances. I've had good 1,000 races all year and I love the event because it's nice and short. You can just hammer the whole thing.

It's a little nerve-racking watching the last couple of races go. All I could do was sit there and watch.

She's an amazing and tough competitor. It's always fun to watch her skate and to compete against her is just great.

It's great for our team. It's great for Canada.
