You can't usually fall twice and still make an Olympic team. Until I went down, though, I'd been doing very well. I just told myself that one mistake probably wouldn't beat me.

I don't think I ever felt like the forgotten man. If anything, I felt self-exiled.

I very likely would not be in this position had I not been working with her and had her support. Same thing with my family. They were all able to enjoy this whole experience with me.

It's great to know that I have people in Peoria that embrace me and support me throughout my career.

The new system is changing the way you run through a program.

In my mind I am comparing the Olympics and this event. Doing the (triple) Axel was an important point in this program for me.
