The first minute was going really well. After the fall, I thought I'd just go for it. I thought, 'This is the Olympics, a once-in-a-lifetime experience,' so I thought I'd go for it.

The first part, I thought was going pretty well. After I fell, I felt as though I should just have fun with everything. This is the Olympics, and it might be a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

I had fun here, except for the part when I was sitting on the ice.

I have to admit I was a little nervous; it is the Olympics. But I was ready, and I have no expectations.

In Salt Lake, my whole family was there to cheer for Sarah. We were really high in the third tier. ... I think that experience on the outside helped me coming to this Olympics.

I'm just glad I had the opportunity to come here and have the experience. It has been so much fun. I've just enjoyed every minute.

I'm just ready to compete, whatever it is. Right now it is the Olympics.

I hope that people see me and see a different skater. But it's not bad being compared to the Olympic gold medalist, and it's nice having her in the family.

I'm definitely a different person than Sarah, but she is my sister and everyone eventually will compare us. I don't think it's too bad to be compared to the gold medalist.

It was great to be there and to feel the excitement when she skated. I got to experience being on the outside, and now I get to skate and she's on the outside. I think that has helped me coming into this Olympics.
