I was scared. I've never been in the situation where I was crying before a race. I kind of felt like a sissy, but it worked out.
My heart is bigger than anybody else out there. If another skater had felt like I did today, he wouldn't have been on the podium. That's just me refusing to lose.
I felt I left a lot of medals out there.
I felt betrayed. He didn't participate in the race, and he didn't discuss it with me. He passed up a medal.
I've never been in that situation before, crying before a race. I felt like a sissy.
